Sad, sad news about Ken Burt

[Kerry Pinkerton]

We received and confirmed the sad news that our friend Ken Burt (KenB) passed away from a massive heart attack Saturday July 30, 2011.

Ken was a great guy and ambassador for metal shaping. He hosted several gatherings at his shop in Flamborough, Ontario. He was a constant teacher and his project documentation was exceptionally detailed as was the quality of the work itself. His aluminum vase had recently been selected as an exhibit for the ArtPrize 2011 contest in Grand Rapids, Michigan!

We were in awe of his skills.

We could go on about his accomplishments but quite honestly, we're a bit numb at the news. Hopefully George Hobers, who gave us the details, will post funeral arrangements.

His passing will leave a void and he will be missed. Our prayers go out to his family and friends.
