Default Belated sad news...Lewis Gillies

Those of you who were around the community in the early days might remember Louis Gillies. At the 2004 MetalMeet, Louis won the raffle for the custom Ewheel that Dutch Comstock and I donated. This was the year the tent blew down.

I lost track of Lewis a few years back. He had lived in a town a few miles away and was a frequent visitor to my shop. He had some health issues and moved to Birmingham to help take care of his sister. I just learned that he passed away a few years ago.

This is the only photo I have of him.

Godspeed Louis.

I remember him as well, always smiling, and always had nice things to say.
