That is sad to hear. I know his nursery was closed for quite a few years already. Got my first winter active succulent from his nursery (a Conophytum wetsteinii).

Terry & Jennifer, Tony and myself had several visits with Cok and Ine, we loved rooting around his plants and finding treasures to take home. Always cheerful and welcoming another great loss to the cactus & Succulent fraternity.
Our best wishes to Ine and the family.
