So long Don

Noooooooo! I am so terribly sorry to hear of Don's passing. I brought him my terrible condition early strip grill Tricone (#169) a few years back and he and crew restored and repaired it magnificently. What a fantastic guy! He gave me and a buddy an hour tour of the facility when we dropped it off, and a similar tour when my sister and I picked it up months later. He said that he learned from my example as he was beginning to craft some hand-hammered Tricones in the manner of the earliest ones built by John and Rudy. I suppose that these few beauties are hyper-collectible now. Godspeed Don!

I intended my post to be part of the existing thread. Can someone set this straight?
