No job to large or complex but no job to small either. Geoffroy engraved this screw that Dave Fjelline made for me. He was very modest but I remember when I first met him I asked him “How do you correct a mistake you make while engraving?”
His soft reply with a smile was “I do not make ze mistake.”

One of the nicest men you could meet and one of the best engraver's of our time. My prayer's to his family.

Julia and I considered him and his wife Virginia good friends. I don’t know what happened but this is a great loss and a sad day for our community.

I always hate to hear that a great talent has passed. My condolences to the family.
