donald_miller1 Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Steve Grimes (1943-2003) the large format photographers friend and excellent machinist succumbed to a massive heart attack today. May his family find support in the hours of their loss and may our friend rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_p_goerz Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Really bad news for all of us! Steve was such a great guy who did amazing things with those machines of his. Many many items in my camera bag and collection came through his workshop, I'm really going to miss him. CP Goerz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_. Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Steve enabled people to make a lot of work, and probably in many cases better work, through his know-how. I called him a few times trying to solve problems and he was generous with his time, and honest. His family has my sympathy and best wishes.

struan_gray Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 A sad day. I didn't know Steve. I never bought anything from him, and what small contact we had was entirely text-based and online. However, he struck me forcibly as someone who gave a concrete reality to the word 'integrity''. Sad indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert_a._zeichner1 Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 A great loss to our LF family. Steve had just a couple of months ago mounted an old Apo Ronar for me and made some caps for it and all of it was such excellent work. He was not only a wonderful craftsman, but such a gentlemen as well. Steve, you will be missed and remembered by us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tracy_storer1 Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 I'm sorrry I never told Steve how much I valued all I learned from him. It was inspiring watching him find solutions to so many problems and liberating feeling that (maybe not as well, but if we practice out brains!) we can all be more creative in our whole lives, not just behind our cameras. His generous and creaive spirit will be missed. Goodbye Buddy, Tracy Storer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_meader Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 He did what most of us aspire to: When thinking of camera repair, did you ever think of anyone else? He represented fine work at a reasonable rate/excellent service. Would that I had the reputation he had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
