Our Good Friend Jeffrey Lehn Passed Away This Morning (forum member jlehn) R.I.P.

It is with great sadness I report Jeff Lehn's passing.

He was a good friend of John McDivitt and it was John who introduced me to him.

Jeff was a very skilled machinist and he honed a lot of his skills with lessons from John McDivitt.

I spoke with his wife just yesterday and she beside herself. (Jeff was still alive at this time but in the hospital and losing a battle.

He was a fighter and he began fighting cancer 10 or more years ago. It would be pneumonia and flu A that finally put an end to him.

Jeff was the salt of the earth and one of the most decent people I have ever known.

R.I.P.  Jeff.  You will be greatly missed.

Sad to hear, I am glad I got to meet and talk with Jeff at NAMES, but that is already a few years ago. He had built some very nice pieces.

The Old Guard of Skilled Craftsman loses another from the fold!

Never knew him, but have known his type, and that would make this a sad loss for us all!!!
