Henry, i knew personally since he lived a few miles away. we had several personal meetings to show off diffferent mods (his CANVIEW of which he was one of the first to buy was the reason i got mine. seeing something work first hand is the best selling tool available) he passed away suddenly from a heart attack. he was not old, only in his 50's i think. he was a pediatrician, and Ohio State U grad. my having roots in Michigan naturally meant that there was always "words every Nov during the annual OSU/U-M game. he was one of the earlier members of PC and also one of early adopters of many mods. other than that, dont know what else to say. being the first to post here does not allow me to follow other peoples example feel free to embellish
