Has anyone herd about Rex Orr @ ASCD passing away? I talked to a buddy who lives close to the company to check on a hood. He told me that they where not taking any new orders at this time. I understand but this is the first I have learned of Rex's death.

Re: ASCD

Wow, unbelievable...I saw this on the website:

Dear Valued Customers and Friends,

The Founder/President of our company, Rex R. Orr, passed away on November 11, 2007. Due to this unexpected loss, we will not be accepting new orders at this time. It is our intent that his business will continue in the very near future.
Please revisit the website soon to view his memorial and updated information.

Friends may call 865-983-9091 X-100 for information.

Thank You Very Much for your understanding.


May he rest in peace

Re: ASCD

Wow...that's really sad. I met him when I got my hood and him, myself and my dad talked for almost an hour. He seemed to be a really good guy.

Re: ASCD

I would like to know if they are up and running yet. I was going to buy my hood through them because there are local and make good hoods.

Re: ASCD

Chevy, I would just call them. I think their website still says not accepting orders but wouldn't hurt to call. IF you do and find something out please post back here so the masses know.
