I went to elementary school with his kids; we lived in the same neighborhood. I remember going over to their house back then and seeing him working on a page with a Tarzan-type character, but I really didn't know who he was until years later, when I saw a Marie Severin caricature of him in Not Brand Ecch and immediately recognized him. About 15 or 20 years ago, I was in the old neighborhood and looked him up - he remembered me and we visited for a few hours... He showed me some really awesome work he had done for a local car dealer that was very reminicent of Blackhawk. Around that time, I think he had been doing Transformers and Dazzler; I remenber seeing tons of Transformers reference material in his studio. I also remember seeing lots of WW II drawings of planes and guns that were incredibly detailed. I'm really sorry to hear of his passing...
