R.i.p.

Sad news! He was a Great guy. A long time ago I bought some of his product and then I was at his booth looking at an update and one other piece. A fellow was in line in front of me talking to him and wasn't buying into the "Sales Pitch" I listened for about 15 min and he wasn't getting anywhere with the guy and "All" he was telling him was spot on with the operation and what the tooling did. I stepped up and told the guy I had all the same tooling and I was very satisfied with it. He and I stepped aside and talked for 10 min and the guy moved on. The line was long and I moved on. A couple of weeks after the show he called and thanked me for chatting with the guy. He called him and bought 2 sets of almost everything he sold. He sent me my upgrades and the other piece I wanted free of charge and thanked me for being his salesman. After that we kept in touch at shows and by phone. Over the years we drifted, but I will always remember him as a friend and a very generous person.
