I know people on her had purchased his parts.
			
			
			
				No! I hope this isn't true. 
			
			
			
				oh fuck no. 
			
			
			
				:confusing2: this saddens me. Never knew the guy, but he seemed super cool...and he's one of us. I hope this is an error.
			
			
			
				Very sad... prayers lifted for family and friends.
			
			
			
				does anybody have any details? I'm so sad he's gone.. I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon with him in his hanger/home/shop back in 22 (on my honeymoon actually). Damn shame. this is the only recent thing i have found:

				Godspeed!
			
			
			
				Sorry to read that we lost another guy with immense knowledge
			
			
			
				That's terrible!
			
			
			
				Sad news indeed.
			
			
			
				This guy cut a Daytona head perfectly in half for me - for free! So talented and generous. Never actually spoke to him, communication was all by email. This makes me sad.
			
			
			
				This is very sad news indeed
