Stanley I. Dodson passed away after a tragic bicycle accident on August 23rd, 2009, leaving the world and scientific community to deal with the loss of a great man and mind, whose contributions to freshwater ecology are legendary. He will always be remembered for all his contributions to the study of community ecology of zooplankton and population ecology of Daphnia. We will always remember Stanley for his keen insight, generosity, positive outlook, and ability to guide without force but with respect and love. We will miss witnessing his ability to draw elegant conclusions from simple experiments, and how he managed to enjoyed every day of his life. He was an incredible man, amazing mentor and loyal friend. We were blessed to have had the opportunity to be mentored by him and share his friendship.
