Big Loss- John Hom
John was a tremendous guy-someone who I considered a very good friend. He was always gracious- and the last handful of years he joined our NSCC board- and made great contributions. He almost always would bring his awesome wife Sue to the shows, and many times their son Alexander would be there too. They have to be one of the nicest families I have ever known.
I just returned from doing the Philly show- and it really hit home - that he just wasn't there. I probably spent 30 minutes to an hour with John at that show(and many others),each and every show - for the last 20 or so years. We would buy and sell cards- but we also would visit. The show just wasn't the same, this time around. I really missed the visit.
We all love the stuff- but in the end it is the people in this hobby who make it what it is. John was a really good one- and I will miss him.
RIP buddy
