It is with the deepest of heart that I share that we have lost a respected member of the milling, drying and forestry family. Danny Hamsley - passed away yesterday, September 21, 2022. At this time I don't have a lot of information about what happened other than to know that he was working at his mill, doing what he loved, when he died. Unfortunately it appears that he lost control of his tractor while moving some material, and it rolled over - breaking his neck.
Danny was the "Go to" person for many people regarding wood species information. He retired as a professional Forrester from Weyerhaeuser several years back and spent his time running his sawmill, drying lumber, and in general sharing great advice with others.
He was a contributor to the "Miscellaneous facts about Drying Lumber sticky here at SMC.
He will be deeply missed.
