It is with sadness that yesterday evening my good friend Albert Thiel ( famous professional aquarists and writer of many books on the hobby) passed away I believe in the afternoon sometime. So sad am gutted for him and his family, wife Sarah and daughter Sharon. We chatted often via email, on nano reefs and a couple of times on the phone. I met him a few times years ago here in the UK before we became friends the last time we chatted on the phone was a few months ago. Albert has been very poorly and lost his fight to cancer and will be sadly missed by many and the hobby has lost a great pioneer and all around helpful guy to all. RIP my friend.

OMG I was away and didn't know this. I feel terrible as he was a very kind and gentle person. I never met him but have spoken to him by phone. I also consulted on things many years ago. He was a hobby pioneer and will be sorely missed.
RIP Albert
 
I was friends with him on facebook and watched his struggle...

No more pain my friend.

He gave me many hours of great reading and will be missed by many.
