A truly talented man has been lost but our memories of him and his beautiful work will live on.

I’ll miss those late nights with Ben and Jim at the conventions.

Several of my earliest scopes were his alabaster masterpieces. May his memory be for a blessing.

I'll miss him. I'm lucky to have 3 of his beautiful scopes. He was a such a nice guy to know.

He was a dear, funny, and talented man!!!!! My condolences!

I so enjoyed knowing him, wish I'd had the chance to know him better. Very friendly, with a lovely smile. Still remember the first meeting, and that smile...my condolences to his family and friends.

May the lovely scopes he made, and the fascinating trips he described, be an eternal tribute to his memory.
