Wow! I knew him many years ago when my wife and I were good customers of his blacksmith shop. We did American Revolution historical reenacting, and he made a lot of different pieces for us back in the '70s in the proper style of that era. His work was outstanding, and his prices were very fair. We migrated to other avocations but still have a goodly number of items that he made for us, and we remember him fondly. He was a great person all around, and is missed.
