RIP Paul h

Post by Dave Brown »

Last night I heard the sad news that Paul Higginson, member Paul h, had died suddenly on June 8th.

He will be sadly missed by family, friends, and anyone into Agaves and succulents. I only met him twice, but was such a nice person, extremely knowledgeable, and very generous. I have many of Paul's Agaves, including some I'd never heard of before.

Many thanks Paul icon_salut RIP

My sincerest condolences to his family.
Best regards
Dave

I didn't know Paul but remember the odd post by him. Very sad to hear we have lost a friend and member. Was he a good age Dave?

RIP Paul

Really sad to read that Paul's passed. Gave me some sound advice, especially on cycads as he had moorei like myself. Also a good for a chuckle . Very saddening.

RIP Paul

I wonder if it would be fitting to close the forum for 2 minutes tomorrow as a mark of respect?

A true gent and a great loss, when Jack started to collect Cacti (I think he was about 5) Paul got in his car and drove from north of Birmingham down here to gift him some small Agaves. One more for the collective was his mindset there I think and although Jack only has one of those Agaves left (he's 12 now) his love of spikies has not dwindled, a kind and knowledgeable man taken far too early as appears to be the case far too often. Rest easy Paul and don't let the bastards grind you down. :(
