Can't even add up how much hobby money I've spent at his establishments over the years.

RIP, Mr. Rocker.

I still remember thumbing through your catalogs when it was still "The Woodworker's Store," over 40 years ago.

Yea, I used to spend coin there. They had decent products. Always making some tool or gadget.

Nordy probably left a rich and fulfilled man. His daughter has been heading the business up for, oh, 20 years now?
