RIP Mike Fulk - Novachord Hammond Guru

This one in via Brian Comnes, via pressdemocrat.com:

"A Lake County man who collected electric organs was identified Monday as the victim of two-alarm fire that destroyed his mobile home on Sunday.

The body of Michael Fulk, 72, was found in the back bedroom of his home in a Lucerne mobile home park...

The mobile home was filled with electric organs and other items owned by Fulk, Deputy Fire Chief Pat Brown said. One room held a dozen of the musical instruments."

Eric Barbour of Metsonix has an obit up here:

"Completely unknown to myself, or to the Hammond organ fans, Fulk had moved to a trailer in Lucerne, on the north shore of Clear Lake, several years ago. And, judging by this story, was probably barbecued by an electrical fire in one of his Hammond organs. The exits were blocked--by organs. Including two Novachords, I presume."
