A great man has walked the line

I toasted Michael with Jaegermeister tonight .
If Saint Peter has an armory I'm sure he is there setting things straight .

A terrible loss to the antique arms community! He will be missed and we are lucky to have much of his knowledge preserved here-

shocked by this terrible news, a very special man is no longer with us.
rest in peace Michael.

honorable contribution in the spirit of Michael Trömner;
Der Tod reitet auf einem kohlschwarzen Rappen;
er hat ein undurchsichtige Kappen.
Wenn Landsknecht in das Feld marschieren,
lässt er sein Ross daneben galoppieren

Death rides a coal-black black horse;
He has an opaque cap.
when Landsknecht march into the field,
he lets his horse gallop next to them.

I too will miss him, it is a rare man that can devote himself to gaining and sharing knowledge on a subject like he did.

I am a newcomer here, and gather only a glimpse of what I have missed from the tributes above. I am moved nevertheless, by this passing and others of my recent experience, to note, with sadness, the truth in the proverb: When an old man dies, a library is burned.
