Roy Snelling

I just received the news of the death of Roy Snelling. This will be a great loss to North American and world myrmecology. He was a valued colleague and friend to me for over 30 years, and to many other people for even longer. He will certainly be missed.

I would add that Roy went in his sleep while on a research expedition in Kenya -- not so bad a way to die, when one must.

Unfortunately, I never had the chance to meet him, but I know his work.

My deep condoleances
