He was a young man then and already skilled to a degree hard to imagine. He has done some remarkable work and will be remembered for his deportment and largess by any who knew him and his work by any viewing it, now or in times to come. God speed, my friend.

Many condolences as well as expressions of admiration and respect have been posted on the two most prominent engraving forums. For those unfamiliar with Phil or his work, there is a brief biography and a few images of his work on the GRS training Center's Grand Masters web site. Phil was one of the international Grand Masters who taught at the center. Here is the link: http://www.grandmastersprogram.com/masters/philippe-grifnee/ Requisat in pace Philippe Grifnee. C.

I will forever treasure the week I spent studying with him at the GRS Training Center in Kansas. There is still even today, sadness in my heart when I think of him leaving so soon......he will be greatly missed. My condolences to his friends & family in Belgium, Weldon Lister Weldon Lister www.weldonlister.com
