The friendships his involvement with clay gave him
were important to him. We have a community of potters
here in B.C. that is vigorous and multi-faceted. I had
a vague hope that Jack and I might visit Heinz Laffin at
his Hornby Island studio, but the opportunity has slipped
by.

Jack would have embraced such a visit. As things now
stand I'm certain his spirit is soaring, finally freed
of the body that tested him so much near the end. I
sure miss that spirit and its unique language.

In his Will he demanded that there be no obituary.
This is not an obituary, it is a fond farewell.

Bob Kingsmill.
