This is very sad, I remember quite some time ago when Michaels greater part of his collection was stolen, I didn't Know Michael then, and didn't get to know him as much as I would have liked, we emailed more than a few times, I was so pleased to find a new in the box sharpfinger and got to send it to him to try and lift his spirits. What Michael did for others with his sharing of his knowledge was huge.
He was such a wealth of knowledge, we talked about the Sears project and he said he was glad someone was taking it on, Neal Punchard sent Michael a copy of the Knife magazine that the Sears article was in, Michael came back to me saying he was really pleased with it- and that coming from Ol' Codger was just so satisfying, of all the people, just fantastic.
Well done Jason as Michael said that he was moving in with you as he became a little less mobile- that's a great son, I am sure your Dad was extremely proud.
R.I.P Codger, thank you for sharing and helping many of us find the answers to our questions.
