As a medical profesional that works in both oncology and neurology, I understand the great risks and complications that can arise from surgery. Still, this is a great shock and Lew will be sorely missed here. My condolences to his family.

I first met Lew while attending Ashokan bladesmithing seminars throughout the 1990s and early 2000s and I always looked forward to seeing Lew and catching up with him and, of course, seeing a few of his newly acquired pieces. Our next phase of interaction was meeting at the Timonium seminars each year. We could always count on Lew's active participation in the seminar and he shared with us in several presentations and table displays. Reluctantly, I suspect, Lew joined the Moderator Team of these forums a few years back and he proved to be most capable and even-tempered in this service to the collector community. I shall miss him greatly and extend my profound condolences to his wife, son, extended family and close friends.
