He is known most notably for The Sweet Wild Hen. It is a combo call that is a push pin that doubles as a slate call.

I just talked to him on the phone six months ago when I ordered a push pin... sad to hear that he seemed like a nice fella

I still have his push- pull little box- " The best turkey call made" From 1996,I believe. Still sounds Great.
