Last Sunday a close friend of 47 years passed unexpectedly. Althought he had just came home from the hospital, the procedure he had was no where near life threatening.. Hew as home for about 30 minutes when he just died. Throught a round about way, he was the influence that started me scrolling. He was a scroll saw artist for about 15 years. We attended a craft show together in June. He turned 65 on August 17 and we took him to lunch. I spoke with him on Saturday night, laughing and joking with a promise to talk again the next day after he was at home. His name was Ronnie and he will be missed. Here is a small tribute to him and his artistry.
