Is this guy still around? magic carpet guy

The late Sawbones introduced me to this carpet tape and I've used this product for over a decade until last year. I still do have 3 or 4 new pieces in my bag, but I was wondering if this guy is still around. I don't use it anymore, but I may give it a try again. has anyone order some recently.

It was Ron Clifton who sold them. But he passed away just this January. Big loss for the bowling community. Good guy and a great coach as well.

Just saw this.  RIP Ron.  Great guy.  Is someone else maintaining his sales?

Edited:  I just checked his webpages and noticed that his family will be maintaining them.
