Anyone know what ever became of his collection of parts or machines? He really knew his stuff!

That's going back a bit.

Been years since heard that name, but IIRC things were sold off at auction or otherwise disposed of.

Went to his place in Troy once...

while we were living full time in VT, to look at a range, it must have been just a year or 2 before he left us... very nice guy.

Reason I asked was I came across his card that was buried for years a few days ago.
