Pipemaker Anders Nilsson passed away.
As a complete shock, the day before yesterday, Monday 8/6, we were reached by the news that Anders Nilsson had passed away at the age of only 62. He is being mourned by a very large circle of friends, but of course primarily by his brother Martin.
Anders and Martin were very close  and for more than 20 years they have made high-quality pipes together, pipes that achieved world fame early on.
Anders was a calm, friendly and jovial man and he leaves a void behind him that is difficult, if not impossible, to fill.
Despite his great sadness, Martin has decided that we can carry out our annual meeting and our auction on Saturday as planned. The whole day will be a tribute to Anders.
