Our thoughts & prayers to his family!!!!

This truly comes as a shock to me. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family that he leaves behind and to his closest friends that will miss him the most.

I, like many others, had the opportunity to talk props with him at the Worlds in St. Pete a few years back. Took the better part of an afternoon to chase him down and locate him but it was time well spent as he is and was very knowledgeable in his field.

He will truly be missed as a person and for the knowledge that he possessed.

Mark

My prayers are with the family, what a true gentleman.
