I am so sad to hear this. I have really missed his posting here the last few years. He was very knowledgeable about growing lilies, especially in the cold upper Midwest. I'm sure many people here benefited from this knowledge.
He did pride himself on his trumpet lilies. I remember the seedling he called 'Lady Luck' (I think) and boy was I envious. Best wishes to his family and friends who I am sure miss him.
