Unfortunately I have bad news. Good friend and bow collector Val Sorrentino of Wurtsboro,NY recently passed away unexpectedly. He passed away 10/28/2008. The bows you see on the auction site are just the tip of the iceberg from his personal collection. His 1st cousin Chris is selling them on behalf of Val's mourning mother.
It appears there was no living will or other document. I knew Val for over 20 years. Met him in 1985 and we had been good friends for many years swapping stories, bow tales and bows. He was an accomplished bowyer who made replica Kodiak better than anyone living or dead. He was a troubled soul full of passion and artistic talent. I will miss him incredibly.
