So sorry for your loss and my condolences to his family. I just found out and am very sad to hear this. As a new collector, he was so nice to offer me guidance and help me with my collection. We emailed and talked on the phone and he was so generous with his time and explaining what to look for. We were looking forward to meeting at the convention and him showing me around. If that doesn't tell you what a nice guy he was. He didn't know me and I'm certainly not a big-budget collector but he was so friendly.
