Another Craftsman Gone -
Of late, was working with his many hobbies right to the end - another folding pocket knife - during his good days.
In the past and in this photo of a few years ago - he did a load of ukuleles for the kids, He enjoyed building most everything, from boats, fishing rods, tying flies for fly fishing, making wood bodied writing pens, making both fixed kitchen and hunting type sheath knives, and folding pocket knives, whittling out wooden spoons, and just about every other hobby he could try & - traveling when he was able.
Dad has always been very keen supporter of me, and my motorcycle shop, and was the one that asked me to try and get my family - step-brothers, nephews etc, interested in motorcycles, motorcycling, and playing with vintage motorcycles -
He has been struggling to breath for some time - COPD from too many years of cigarette smoking, and didn't stop soon enough. The last month or so, he has been needing help with everything.
My main job this last year has been helping my folks, but mainly my Dad get through day to day activities, and I have been doing my motor cycle bike stuff in the evenings.
Since Dad's passing , when things are a bit more sorted out in a few more days, will be back in the shed full time once again.
Enjoy life while you have it -
