Dok's "Jewel" Luger he called it. I called it a Thor TDJ (Total Doll Job)

This was Dok's website where he showed his work. WOW, they were nice. He also made the case for the 2005 American Pistolsmith's Guild Baby Luger, a bunch of us worked on that one.

I am shocked and sad to hear this news! Doc was a craftsman and a true gentleman. I touched bases with him from time to time over the years, and was unaware of any issues, health or otherwise... My prayers and sympathies go out to his family. Sad day for us all here on the forum he will be missed... best to all, til...lat'r....GT

Ok, Steve Zingman got the scoop on what happened to our friend, it was a motor cycle accident. Here's what he got from Les's son Brian.

"Hi Steve, this Les’ son Brian. My Dad was in a bike accident on his Birthday last Thursday. The doctors believe he had a stroke which led to the accident. He was found unconscious and had a fractured skull and bleeding on his brain. While in the coma he also started experiencing seizures. He never regained consciousness and his heart stopped Tuesday morning. We are planning to have his funeral on Saturday the 28th of December

Thank you for those kind words Steve, I will definitely pass on your best wishes to Jeanne. Yes absolutely please share the news with the Luger Forum. He will be sorely missed by many❤️"
