My condolences.
When I first saw this thread and the name Jim B, I was not sure if this was the person I was thinking of, but it is. This is very unfortunate and almost feels surprising.
I feel fortunate enough to have met him during the Southern California Card Show last summer. My Dad and I set up some T206 cards and when he came over to us he was so engaging. I realized he was the person who posted the epic T206 backs collection on this forum some time ago. He was very kind to my Dad and I, and so very interesting. You do not meet a Buddhist everyday. I am pretty sure he was the only guy in the room that day that had convinced a gorgeous woman to attend a baseball card show with him, but perhaps my memory is a bit sketchy in this area.
I am especially sorry for those of you who had an actual relationship with him. He seems like he would have been a very awesome, enlightening person to spend time with.
My Dads words of wisdom to me on this one: "He is a Buddhist. He is in a very good place."
I am sorry guys. Cherish the memories!
