Neckyzips has passed away

For you old schoolers, I just read the sad news over on homage-forum.  A longtime modder and case modifier is how I remember him, never had any personal interaction with him but his is one of the names I definitely learned in my first couple years on the forums.  Hopefully some still remember him and can chime in with some words or pictures of his work as a tribute to his mark he left on our hobby.

That's sad to hear, I never knew him but it's always sad when someone on here passes... I hope someone can post some of his work to credit him too.

I didn't know him either, but a friend of mine is a moderator over there. I was asked to post this as well, so thank you @fatarms for posting before I got home.

Joe made me this case and dial. Very talented and easy to deal with. Bit shocked tbh.

I've only just learned this myself, very sad. I've dealt with him a fair bit, I have a collection of those little tin cans he used to pack shit in. Condolences to all who knew and worked with him.

You lucky bugger. Every time I had money he had no stock available and tho he offered I refused to "pull rank" and push in to the wait list.

Browsing away I have read some topics with the Neckyzips  name metioned   .. .   I never had any communications with the RWG member myself . . .  . . . .. testimony though to the RWG community that this man who was regarded as a lovely & talented member is still being talked about with love & kindness on the forum after he has passed . . ..   

What a wonderful community RWG is . . ..  :thumbsup2:
