My good friend and model engineer extraordinaire, Don Favell, has passed away on May 21st at the age of 89.

He was an engineer, toolmaker and designer. He solved hundreds, perhaps thousands of mechanical engineering problems over the years.

While filled with grief, I did manage a few unscripted words at his memorial.

Mrs. Favell shared a few video clips with me from Don's memorial which I trimmed and edited together to make this video.

She speaks, then yours truly, followed by another gentleman and then his good friend Terry Van Winkle.

Sorry for your loss Gil.

Didnīt know Mr. Favell, but sure sounds like a gentleman well worthy of our respect.

R.I.P.

Thanks, Jan. Had you the chance to make his aquaintence, I am certain you would have liked him.

Thanks, Mike.

Thanks, David.
