This is gut-wrenching to hear. We often talked about football, dogs, and...of course...pinball (3 of our shared passions).
He was always open and honest about everything, and he spoke up whenever he believed in something...no matter if it was popular or not. He was a 'salt if the earth' type of guy. A TRUE American.
This is a big loss to those who knew him in person, on here, and the pinball community as a whole.
He mentioned to me several times that he felt his work was beating him down and that he couldn't wait to retire. I am truly saddened that he passed at such a young age, but I know that he finally retired to the great beyond in the sky.
Rest in peace brother
