Sad News: Martin Smith Of Woodbin

[MercianScribe]

I didn't know him, but as just another happy customer who had bought from this courteous and reliable man, who would often be helpful and friendly especially regarding stupid questions from neophytes, I'm sad to say Martin Smith, the owner of Woodbin passed away on Feb 3 at the young age of 67.

 

There is already mention of this in the Repair Q&A forum, but I thought it should be mentioned here. I should also mention that his daughter is looking after things for now, and to please be patient and understanding if you have any outstanding orders.

Really sad loss. Its a great loss to the hobby as well. He was the sole source of PVC sacs in multiple sizes and pressure and J bars. My last order from him arrived yesterday which was shipped on 20th or so. I will miss him.

Didn't know the guy. May his soul be at rest with God. What did he die from?

Life. Let's be respectful of his health information.

I have never met the guy, or dealt with his business, but from what I see, I too will likely feel the ripples of his passing. May he rest in peace, and I hope he didn't suffer.

I'm obviously behind the times, but would still like to add my voice to the many who dealt with Martin Smith, and are saddened to hear of his passing. RIP.
