Captain Chris Stanaback Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/14/05 Posts: 12681 Loc: Central Florida	It is with great sadness that I report to all of you the passing of Hugh Wright. Hugh left this world on July 3rd, 2019 after complications from surgery a few months ago. He was 82 years of age. Hugh worked at the Randall shop in the early 1960's until the late 1970's or early 80's. After he left the Randall shop, Hugh began forging and making fixed blade knives on his own out of his shop in Saint Cloud, Florida. Hugh made excellent knives and sold them at a fair price. He was always willing and able to listen to your knife ideas and make you "what you wanted"! He was a good knifemaker, a good guy and my friend and I shall miss him. Rest In Peace Hugh and on your final journey I bid you, "Fair Winds" Respectfully submitted, Captain Chris Stanaback Edited by Captain Chris Stanaback (07/07/19 08:18 AM) _________________________ Capt.Chris Stanaback RKCC/RKCA Founder RKS #016 NRA Lifetime Member CAPTSTANABACK@aol.com WEBSITE: www.captstanaback.com
