Tanya, My sincere condolences to your family on your loss. I did enjoy his articles very much.

Tanya

May I add my condolences. I too used to enjoy his articles and found them inspiring.

Russell

I can only add what others have said. There is a certain comfort I think from knowing that he lives on when any of us use what we learnt from him and that his books continue to give joy to their owners when we read his words. To make people smile after one has left is the best way to leave. Sympathy and thoughts for you and your family at this sad time.

I was very sorry to learn of Peter Rawlinson's death.

I was friendly with a Jim Smith of Folkestone who knew your father and, frankly, revered him.

Like the others, I very much appreciated his contributions to MEW and his willingness to share his expertise over the phone.

Hello Tanya, I'm very sorry to hear your sad news. My sincere condolences to you and your family. I started this forum thread back in 2010 when I was considering doing a wire EDM machine. I had not seen anything published by Peter in a long time and I hoped to have an email conversation with Peter about some of the EDM machine details, and perhaps find and purchase a couple of his books. As others have said, Peter's articles were enjoyable reading for many of us and his insights into the technology being discussed were most helpful to those following along and building similar equipment. He was a very skilled man and will be missed by the model engineering world. Best regards Jeff Dayman Waterloo Ontario Canada
