I was in his store last summer, quite teh place. It was honored by the local IPMS club with a 1/24 scale model that was displayed at this year's Region 1 convention. My condolences to you and all his friends and family.

Always sad to hear of a "good guy" passing...Condolences to his Family and friends.

Here's hoping he's wandering up and down the aisles of that BIG Hobby Shop inthe sky as we speak!!
