Dang. Just saw the guy at the Paph forum in January. He seemed fine.

Yup he gave a talk. Wasn't he just in Germany for a show about 6 weeks ago?

I feel bad for wenging and their daughter, damn it!!

Yes a most unfortunate turn of events. He will be missed. I'm not sure of where he was when he passed, but I have heard it was due to a heart attack.

He certainly played an important role in the slipper world with his tours, lectures and exporting. I enjoyed the few times I got to meet and converse with him.

If there's a slipper heaven, he's there. Rest in peace.

The industry lost a great person for sure. Very sad.

It was a great fortune to have had the time with him that I did. He will be missed sorely. My heart goes out to Wenqing and their girls. Words can't express my sadness.
