That's sad to hear. Although I do wonder if they would be interested in selling the business ... I'm thinking that lately there has been an increase in interest in T Grips so I'd think one could make a good living making them.Also note, Mr. Tyler was a one-man operation. He just recently had to retire suddenly for health reasons. I understand his family is doing something about pending orders. It is not known whether the family will maintain the business beyond pending orders.
