Last Saturday, Estelle Hartman's father, Robert Lyon, passed away at nearly 102!

Many of us know Estelle as the 'better' half of "The Chip Man" Scott Hartman. Pam and I have known tyhe Hartman's from my very beginning days of collecting, and our hearts are saddened by this expected, but sorrowful event.

Pictured below is Robert, celebrating his 100th Birthday, back in October of 2009. What a party animal!

We express our sympathy and condolences to Estelle and her Family. Robert is being laid to rest this morning at Mt. Sinai, Hollywood Hills, CA. I regret that I could not be there, but know that Pam (who is there) will represent my love.

With all our love,

Jim, Pam, Casey and Angela
