Wow, this news is a shock.
He is truly one of the nicest men in pinball. Spent 45 minutes with me over the phone fixing my Smaug. He would have spent more time but I felt bad I was on the phone that long.
His correspondence in emails were just as helpful especially on Woz 2.0 lighting. His manuals are a testament to his work. He set the model on how manuals should be. Going to miss him at JJP. Hope the future is everything he wants.
