Its really ashame to hear this...still! I've had a couple sets of his gear (sourced elsewhere) and it's been top notch, but dealing with him was very difficult. I waited 2 years for a retracting tailwheel that he said 'was almost complete and on the shelf'....it never did materialize and i gave up asking. My wife and I often go to a tiny Italian restaurant close to us and the owner is always there. It's amazing how well he treats his customers and the hours he puts in. He is always there and they always seem to be open, even on holidays. He told us once when we complimented his devotion, he said, "one should be in business to do business." I always remember that and am happy when I can support his efforts. Plus the food is really good.
