. . . this last March.
He had shared his battle with cancer with us; his last post was in February. I was just thinking about him literally ten minutes ago and found his wife Janet's notice that he'd passed March 7th.
Please join me in remembering our departed friend. He loved watches and cars, and shared his passions with us.
Deeply saddened,
