His death was the worst day of my life. I was only 24 and clearly still needed him in my life and miss him terribly still. I was able to retain about 18 pieces of his unbelievable collection that I still have today. I have no idea what its' value is but I am clear on what the value of it is to me. It is proudly displayed in a case in my living room.
It is heartwarming to read the posts about him. He was indeed a man of honor and integrity that taught me a lot about character.
Thank you for sharing your memories.

Yes, thanks for coming on the board and saying a few words. Lots of collectors will read this. It sounds like your Dad was a wonderful man. We need more folks like him in this world.
