What happened to Lumpie?
Can someone go knock on his door and see if he's ok?

Last communication I had with him was a couple years ago and his wife was having medical issues that required his full attention. He also had some medical issues of his own. I would like an update also.

I heard his wife was doing better after some surgery but I didn't know he had health issues also. Well like the rest of us.......

As far as email goes I'm not sure if he does email. He is the probably one of the smartest fellas that I have talked to in a while or at least post my retirement.

I called him a couple of times a year or so ago when he was going through some treatments. I just wanted to let him know someone was thinking of him.

Enjoyed our talks. He is a wealth of experience.

Unfortunately, I got busy with life and lost touch... would also like to know, if anyone finds out.

I talked with him a couple times. Seemed like a stand up Christian guy.

I sold him a set of Lyman .45 Colt dies. He called the house and we talked for a couple hours. This was a few years back though. Great guy and had a ton of knowledge and a vast variety of reloading/casting gear and brass. Told me if I ever needed anything to call and he would see what he could do. Nice guy.

I spoke with them today. Both of them are doing fine. But lumpy is a bit under the weather today. I try and keep in touch with him now and then as he is a good Brother.

No Problem DLCTEX as I noticed a few Good members were wondering. I am glad I ran across this thread to let others know. :bigsmyl2:
