I still have the e-mails between us. One where I caught
him with a mistake, a very rare occurrence. :-)

I showed up too late to enjoy his company. All indications are that we lost a good man
way too early.

He was quite a character. Lots of know-how and experience to share,
and as opinionated as they come. Always entertaining, though, and
passionate about sharing his knowledge and experience. He was one of the
good guys.

many of his posts are classics and some, like his opinions on the use
of "way oil", still spark debates on various metalworking forums around
the web. There was mention of it just in the past week or two on the HSM
magazine forum.

It was small-cell lung cancer that killed him in the end. Got it into
remission for a short while with chemo, IIRC, but it was back before too
long.
