Helmut Engle's passing

I dont know if everyone got a chance to meet him, but the doll maker from the toy store located in germany at Epcot, Helmut Engle, passed away this past spring. We had a doll made, and signed by him for each of our four children over the last few visits. When we found out he missed his February visit because he was ill we knew there would be bad news to follow. We will miss him, he loved helping us pick out the dolls for our kids, and his wife loved assembling them for us. Our prayers are with the Engle Family. His son Markus emailed us to notify us.

:( Aww thats such a shame.

Its people like him that make love going back to those WS stores over and over. I love to watch a master craftsman at his work. I wish i had got one of those dolls for our disney collection.

my prayers go out to his family as well. thanks for letting us know.
