I am saddened to hear of Chris Singers (SKIPPY TM)passing-may GOD bless his wife and son at this time .I bought quite a few saws from him and sent him saws for repair over the past several years-i was always impressed by his knowledge,honesty,fairness,and willingness to assist with any saw issue that i could not figure out myself.Several of the saws that i have sold on Arborsite were originally purchased from him,i.e., the immaculate 288xp sold to Brad Snelling,254xp &262xp sold to Stephen (sent to Mastermind for modifications), 3120xp and 372xpw,etc. I have a Husky 262xp that i purchased from him(functionally perfect +++ with minimal superficial cosmetic defects)-out of honor/respect for how he helped me i would like to auction it and donate the proceeds to his wife and son,i will try to post pictures later today.
