Pushandpull Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 I never met Eddie, although we spoke on the phone a number of times. Always helpful and he was indeed a gentleman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenshank1 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 That is sad . I bought a call from him last year for a friends 50th and corresponded by email, and he seemed a true gentleman and true craftsman and wildfowler. Sympathies to his family and friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakin stevens Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Probably the best wildfowl calls money could buy in the UK at this present moment, very sad news . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy baxendale Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Very sad to hear. I only had the pleasure of meeting him once but he has constructed a number of weird and wonderful things for me over the years and i have used his pink calls for a long long time. His passion for fowling meant that a short phone call between us rarely happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshAndy Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 That is sad news. Spoke only through email, very nice chap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGoose75 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Sorry to hear this. I bought one of his calls when they first came on the market and also talked on the phone with him. A very nice gentleman and his call was responsible for pulling a pair of Pinks 'A rare goose here' away from a large number of Whitefronts and enabled me to shoot my first Pinkfoot and on the foreshore about 15yrs ago. I also sent my call back to him after I tampered with it and he retuned it no problem . RIP Fellow Fowler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
