Wow.. So sorry to hear this. May god bless his family.
Last year, when I was buying an 024 cylinder from him, he was just finishing up the roof.Wow this is a shocker. Have not seen him post in a while. I went to a great gtg at his place 4 or 5 years ago. Great guy, and a sweet family. He was building a post and beam house in the back of his property I think from milled timbers. I remember leaving real impressed with the guy. This sucks. Rest in peace.
so sorry to hear -may GOD bless his family! i bought several saws from him and sent saws to him for repair.always did great work.i will sincerely miss him-he helped me out on several hard to fix saw issues,was very knowledgeable,and always ready to take care of any issue that i discussed/sent to him for repair.some of the saws that i have sold on this website were originally purchased from him(254xp &262xp that Stephen purchased and sent to Mastermind,the immaculate 288xp that Brad Snelling purchased fom me,3120 and 372xpw,etc.)in honor/respect of how he helped me over the past several years i have a husqvarna 262xp(almost mint-a few superficial defects but functionally perfect) that he found for me/i purchased it from him.i would like to auction it and donate the proceeds to his wife and son in his honor.please let others know-i will try to post pictures.SkippyKTM; I liked him from the first time we conversed on here. My condolences to his family.
(setting aside my AS boycott for now .. )
I just got off the phone with Chris Singer's (SkippyKTM) wife Lynn ... she told me that Chris had a coronary attack and passed away last night while out for a walk.
Although never actually meeting, Chris and I had become good friends through many Skype calls.
Chris always had advice for me and was a really good mechanic (not just confined to saws).
His family, especially his son (his 'partner in crime') will really miss him, I'm sure.
He lived over in Ashford, CT ... his wife mentioned that the obituary would be in the Hartford paper soon.
Gonna miss ya, buddy.
My thoughts exactly. The people on this forum are like family to me. I will sure miss seeing skippyktm's posts and hope his family knows they are in my thoughts and prayers. DWTed,
I hope you direct his family to this tribute thread. Some times it helps to know how many "more friends" a man has.
