Members Jeffrey46 Posted February 26, 2012 Members Report Posted February 26, 2012 I've just read that Mr. Burnett has passed away. Rest in Peace. http://www.facebook....LeatherEmporium -Jeff Quote
Members BenB Posted February 27, 2012 Members Report Posted February 27, 2012 Jeffrey - thank you for spreading the word and for the sentiments. Just wanted to confirm that Paul did pass away Friday evening 2/24/2012. I'll be updating his website in the next few days to post some final words that Paul wanted to share with the leather community. If anyone has parting thoughts, words of appreciation, or some good stories to share, please post them here. Quote
Members BenB Posted February 28, 2012 Members Report Posted February 28, 2012 It pains me to post this, but here are Paul's last words for the leather world: “I thank everybody I’ve met through these many years for their loyalty. It has been an honor to have met, taught and shared this craft with so many wonderful and creative people. My darling Sue is going to continue on with the feather line and keep the web site going. I hope my knowledge will have ongoing benefit to those who desire to learn our wonderful art and craft.” More from his wife, Karen, is at his website www.paintingcow.com. Quote
Members HellfireJack Posted February 29, 2012 Members Report Posted February 29, 2012 I received the email today about his passing from PaintingCow.com.He was a wonderful artist. It's unfortunate to lose his talent. Quote
Members LuisPaulo Posted February 29, 2012 Members Report Posted February 29, 2012 Going to work this morning I was thinking about an eagle head that he made and now I open my email box and read the email.... I'm really really sorry... Quote
JohnBarton Posted February 29, 2012 Report Posted February 29, 2012 Paul's lessons have been a huge influence on us this past year. It's a sad day for the community and for his family. He will live on forever though through the lessons he leaves behind for generations of leather workers to come. Godspeed Paul. Paint the sky! Quote
Members WinterBear Posted February 29, 2012 Members Report Posted February 29, 2012 I was really sorry to hear about this. My condolences to his family and his friends. Quote
