I’m sorry to hear the news Craig

 

[Lester Wareham]

Thanks for letting us know Craig, sad news.

 

[SkedAddled]

Yeah, sorry for that link.
This one will work; it's basic information.

I'm fairly sure he appeared on POTN for a while, but was most active at MFlenses.

 

[Levina de Ruijter]

I didn't know him, Craig. But it is sad news indeed.

Your message at the remembrance site was lovely, Craig. I’m sure the family will appreciate it very much.

Thanks, Sam.

I know Michael was active on POTN at some point, but he really concentrated his efforts
in helping folks at the MFlenses site. He'd worked some years in the field of camera
and lens repairs, and his knowledge was something to behold.

Michael personally invited me to visit him if I ever was in the Houston, TX area
but it never came to be as I had no reason to travel there.
I regret that I could not meet him in person.
I'd have enjoyed discussing woodworking techniques and lens maintenance with him.

We miss you, Cooltouch. God speed, my friend.
