Sad news; I didn't know him well but we used to chat at shows. I had not realised he was that much older than I.

Nice chap he was too, much like open spaceman, id only met him a few times at shows and had a natter. He was still teaching apprentices until not so long ago I believe. Well respected man from what I know.
