Sad to hear my dear friend and Luger expert Hugh Clark passed away this morning. He was monumental in putting the " icing on the cake" on my Luger restorations with his fanstastic and unbelievably amazing Luger grip work. He was very generous with his talents and just a terrific person. I was blessed to have the wonderful restored grip work included in my work. I did a few Lugers for Hugh as well. I loved it, when I got a phone call from him. I got to meet him in person at a Luger convention at Ralph Shattuck's World of Lugers for members of the lugerforum.com. Also had a great sense of humor to be pair with outstanding craftsmanship. He had his own shooting range and used to do a lot of field tests on Lugers especially the 30 Luger. I am honored and blessed to have known this fine man. Rest in Peace my friend, Rest in Peace. BEFORE and AFTER to pay him tribute. THE BEST He was! Amazing person! (Copied from my Facebook post)

Sad, hard news. My thoughts and prayers to his family.

Hugh knew how. Not only technically, but in a human way as well; never stood on a pedestal, always very freely giving; treated everyone dearly.

I emailed with him in early days about a baby(7 shot) Luger. A few weeks passed. The mail showed up with a spring and special parts for controlling the recoil spring assembly, new custom spring and strut. I told him that I would even out, he just kinda laughed a don't worry type laugh. Hugh was a guy that was free with with knowledge and did not beat you with it, a slowly disappearing breed.

I will miss him.
