Generous with his advice and tutelage, he forged gun parts until he fell ill and Passed two weeks later. Originally from Chambersburg in Central Pennsylvania, he will be sorely missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Condolences on the loss of your friend and mentor. Too many masters are passing on but as long as we remember them they will be with us. I can't control the wind, all I can do is adjust my sails.
