Great book by an interesting guy. Too bad..... :(

:( Looks like we lost a good man who left behind some wonderful accomplishments. Thanks for letting us know John.

I worked with his son Marshall for years up here in Maine. I never really met his dad but if he was anything like Marshall he must have been a hell of a guy.

It's extra sad to hear when one of the good ones move on. I read the article, very interesting and this gentleman seemed to be on the front of the curve for this type of action...

Thank you for bringing this up.
