Pascal Boissonet was a good friend of mine in San Antonio. He apprenticed as an organ pipe maker and voicer as a young man in France. Eventually, he moved to the U.S. where he worked on pipe organs, sailed coastal and transatlantic voyages on small craft, worked as a chef in the Caribbean, and finally, back to voicing and repairing pipe organs. I was honored to spend a day with him in December, 2008, as he created an embossed pipe from tin which he poured into sheets years ago. He was possibly unique in his ability to execute this craft. He was an artist, a craftsman and a gentleman. I am sharing these photos with the public out of respect for his skill and in his memory. Pascal passed away April 23, 2012. He is missed by many. At present his website is still active at http://www.pipeorganvoicer.com
