Another amazing skill-set gone from this world.
I had just spoken to an old classmates mom on my walk this morning only to find that her husband had passed away from cancer this past March.
He was a pretty amazing guy. He had unbelievable hand skills and was always rebuilding and tinkering with old Norton motorcycles. I remember while I was racing mountain bikes his advice to me was "On race day, work on the brakes, not the engine...." He had a pretty successful racing career and was a very talented machinist and mechanic.
When I moved back into the area that I grew up in, I would plan my walks around passing by his shop and have a quick (sometimes not so quick) chat.
Godspeed Mr.L.
