Bill Smalley has passed away

Some of you may already know, but I just received an email saying that Bill "TennBill2" Smalley passed away about ten months ago. The email came from his email address, somebody said that they just found my address so I assume it was from his wife.

Bill was the man behind the home made Borchardt, a gun I had the pleasure to inspect several years ago together with several of his other projects. Bill kept a pretty low profile here on the forum, but he was one of the most talented gunsmiths/tinkerers I have ever met.

I certainly hope Bill is having a good time in the big workshop upstairs!
