Barry Neigut?

Barry Neigut was a big name in Tridacnines, and owned clamsdirect.com, which isn’t online anymore. I saw an obituary which could be his, does anyone know if he passed away?

I corresponded with Barry but never meet with him in person. I wonder if another of us old timer passed.

I met him one time at a wholesaler in LA, nice guy. Hopefully he’s ok! Speaking of, anyone heard from Bob Fenner lately?

Bob passed in 2020, unfortunately.

Yeah I just found out I haven’t seen him in 15 years but such a great guy, with a huge impact on our hobby.

Clams direct was awesome. Back in the day he had beautiful maximas, croceas, and gigas clams. He was great to work with. Unfortunately, I heard he died but can't find a link to confirm.

Thanks for the info, I saw an obituary that was probably him, which is why I came here to ask. ClamsDirect was awesome. Clams seem to not be that popular anymore compared to 15 years ago.
