Possibly written by a relative, or someone who knew him personally, but this article is completely unsourced. The only thing I can find online is a funeral notice in a local newspaper. There are no claims in this article of him being particularly notable, and no evidence online of any wider notability e.g. books, newspaper obits. Fails WP:GNG, time for the article to go.

Delete: My searches are finding a few online sale items but nothing that could met WP:ARTIST or broader WP:BASIC criteria. AllyD (talk) 07:38, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: clearly COI-dominated hagiography; dubious notability as ARTIST. Quis separabit? 14:40, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
