Not thinking so much of the loss of his fine products. I really feel a friend or at least someone in the area should check on the family.
There may be a garage / shop full of tools, jigs, fixtures and material that needs to be cleared out. This could be a big problem for the family. He had a business that, I am sure, could have been sold on an open market. Maybe someone close, could tell the family what his work meant to the 914 community. Let them know, we would like to keep his work alive. Report back here and tell us where everything stands. |

You could always say Mark left a legacy I want to continue if that's alright with you, then go from their. Some people would want this done for no financial benefit or part of the proceeds going to charity or maybe he has kids that need money for education but either way a friend of the family or his friend would be best suited to to talk to the family or wife. Personally I wouldn't want some person unknown to bother me or my family during this time, how ever long it might be.

that is my intent, and put his name on the kit/parts as tribute to his work, I don't have time to redevelop parts and I don't want to.
