I bought my his book by phone order from him. We had a subsequent conversation where he answered a couple of Model 54 related questions. I wrote something of a book review for the Winchester Collector's Forum. I'm saddened to hear the news. I know nothing personal about him; age or such. But I do know that's an extremely serious illness. His book is unique as the only dedicated work pertaining to the Winchester Model 54. A lot of photos and for me too, a lot of information I didn't know! For any serious Winchester rifle fan, it would seem appropriate and now likely soon to be 'unobtainium'.
Thank you for the kind 'heads up' Mr. D. I appreciate an opportunity to offer a prayer for him and his family. I if there is anything more heard, would appreciate an advisory Post in this Forum!
Best!
John
