Comment: This needs some more sources, is there perhaps a newspaper or magazine obituary given his recent death? The Fort Wayne Reader is a good source, there is a lot in the Hickling source, but that seems to be a self-published memoir. So we need at least one more independent source, with significant coverage, and ideally two. ChrysGalley (talk) 11:02, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
