Without a doubt there was a lot of drool spilled over the pictures that he put in those articles. Deepest condolences and prayers for comfort for his family and friends.

He signed my copy of the book titled Mastery of Metal and Wood. Nice guy. He was an excellent rifle photographer. Sorry to hear of his passing. If you have never seen this book's contents you will be amazed at his photographs: https://www.amazon.com/Custom-Rifles-Mastery-Metal-Miller/dp/1440232105
