    Very sad news.. hopefully they will continue.
    I did not work with them, but I am aware of the source for pen makers, and repair people!

    Just sent a condolences email which hopefully reach his family.

    Martin is a stand up vendor and a very fair person. May he rest in peace.

    Just read the message. Thank you for posting it, Fredrydr. I'm shocked! Martin has been my reliable supplier for hard to get FP spare parts for many years.
    Very sad to read about his passing away. I hope his relatives will find a way to continue his important work.
