Sorry to hear that. He and his brother Frank, were true craftsmen and made their mark in the muzzleloading world. I first heard of him in the Foxfire Books.

terrible news. national treasure
the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee

I always hoped to visit his shop and meet him. I waited too long again.

Dang!
I always liked him and he shared coffee with me several times at his camp and at various events we'd chew over gun-making and ideas for making tools and how to use them.
It was a rare treat to spend time with him.
He'll be missed.
