It is with a saddend heart that I have to tell you that we have last a valued member of our forum. Fragmatic, Randy Kimball, passed away on April 1st, 2013. I followed Randy here from another forum because he was just such a real person that was willing to help anyone he could. He was a retired wild-life rehabilitator.

Randy's wife has reached out to me for help with his tanks. His home is in Keller, Texas, north of Fort Worth. If anyone can help his family, please contact me at [email protected]. My name is Sharon.

R.I.P. Randy Kimball, aka; Fragmatic.

what kind of help did you need sharon?

His wife reached out to me because I friended him on facebook. I missed him on another forum that he used to frequent and I tracked him down through facebook. She contacted me today through facebook to tell me the news of his passing and asked if they could contact me for help with his tanks. I'm not at all the correct person to give anyone advice on saltwater tanks.....She said her son is trying to figure out what to do. I told her I would reach out to the forum and see if anyone might live close to them to help out. They will need to know how to feed and do water changes at the very least.

From what I can see, he may have been posting when he fell ill....I see that his profile looks like the green button is on but, either he never logged out or his family is trying to contact people to help with his tanks....

So very sorry

My brother lives in the Dallas/Ft Worth area but I don't think he would be much help with Saltwater tanks.

I am deeply saddened to hear of this. He was a great member here at R2R. We actually we're about to invite him to become a moderator here at R2R. :( So so sorry.

Someone please contact me if you get more information. I would like to reach out to his family from our forum if we can.
