I was fortunate in getting to meet Dirley when my Dad John Wynn was building a mandolin for Dirley, Unfortunately my Dad passed away in Aug of 2010 but, before he passed away he asked me to finish Dirley's mandolin, I did, and delivered to Dirley, he loved it. We spent a few other times together after talking about how we were related and he gave me some papers to of our roots. He will be missed, Great talent
Probably 8-10 years ago, Wirley handcrafted our stair and loft railing. He used the "measure twice, cut once" method, except he measured three times! The railing was perfect and just what we wanted. We have received several positive comments from craftsmen and visitors. He was someone to be admired and appreciated.
Dirley was quite a guy and will be missed by all who knew him. I always enjoyed my time with him. Thoughts and prayers for the family.
Tracy, we are so sorry for your loss. Gods speed my friend
So sorry for your loss
