Like millions of others around the world, I am deeply saddened by his passing. Let's also not forget that he was the quintessential "collector," albeit not of sportscards, but of comic books, Disneyana, art, antiques, etc. As such, he shared a common bond with all of us.
I made an attempt to eulogize him on our blog (see link below) by speaking a little about his life as a collector as well as my memories of him: most notably, the three times I saw him in concert (including a Wembley Stadium show also attended by Prince Charles and Princess Diana).
