My dad Allan Batty died today peacefully in his sleep. He is incredibly well loved and respected in the woodturning community.

It's hard for me to put it into words my gratitude for the knowledge my dad taught me when I was just a boy.

We have all missed his entertaining woodturning demonstration over the recent years. The last time we both demonstrated together was in Oregon all most 5 years ago. My dad has not demonstrated since due to illness.

I watched him do a demo at the NC. Symposium a few years ago. He made useing a shew look like child play.

I remember he would be turning and the would stop and walk around to the front of the lathe and tell a joke. Then go back to what he was doing.

Another of the old guard heads off to the big turning shop in the sky.

My condolences.

One of the all time greats indeed will be missed but not forgotten, had the fortune of meeting Allan several times, his memory lives on everytime I pick up a skew or chase hand threads.
