He helped me get in by having something of quality, and at an affordable price for a fly rod. Still have it, and still my main go to rod. Loved his videos as well. Will be missed.

Sad news. Bought his book on casting back in 80's.. learned lots from it.. He'll be in the land of amazing sunrises and rising trout.

Never knew him, but I have a couple of TFO fly rods with his name on them. And they give me some great memories. So,RIP.

Read several books that featured him, fly tying and casting .
I changed my casting style after reading them and improved immensely!
Sad to hear of his passing
