This is very sad news. My sincere sympathy to his family, and may he truly rest in peace.
I also was privileged to meet Mr. Budnick at the big Detroit Show in July of 1972. I was but 18 back then, but serious about the hobby, and I was touched that Mr. Budnick would treat someone so young with dignity and respect.
I may very well have bought some publications from this gentleman back then. Though I cannot recall a definite conversation or purchase, I still remember him well and in a positive way.
God bless his soul and memory.
