I worked with Juan on Florida Artist Blacksmith Association (FABA) activities over the past several years. Always enjoyed his demonstrations when he had a FABA meeting in his VERY WELL equiped blacksmith shop. His varied designs of tables and other decorative items were very special. Juan was always willing to help teach and assist others. He will be missed.
