a sad passing of great knowledge

hi guys in looking at facebook this morning and the American woodturning design page and they have posted the very sad news of the passing of dale nish as we all know as probably one of the grandfathers of woodturning in the USA and im sure a lot of us have his books or have read them to gain some knowledge his passing is a very sad day for the worlds turning community

That is indeed a great shame. He produced a magnificent book years ago loaned to me from an old mate, which all new turners should read.
Sincerely

Just read it on another forum. I've heard of him but can't quite place him. Sounds like a loss to the turning community. Be nice of there was a little something about him and a link to him. Maybe someone will put him on Wikipedia.

Woodturner's Wiki - Dale Nish (http://wiki.spswoodturners.org/index.php?title=Dale_Nish)

There is an award named after him which was awarded at the recent Utah Woodturning Symposium. Will be a great loss to the American Woodturning Community.
