All the wonderful things said here just increases the sadness felt by people like me who didn't know Jim. So terrible. Rest in peace.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Very sad news, Jim was a pleasure to converse with, offered new theories, a true contributor to society. An amazing collection, amazing resource, a true gentleman. Among his many contributions, an article on N167 which featured his complete set, the only one in existence. Jim, you will be greatly missed. Condolences to all friends and family.

When someone passes away we tend to say positive, wonderful things. In Jim's case all these comments are rock-solid true. He was a happy serene soul. It was always nice to be in his company. My best Jim memory was sharing a seat on the bus from Rosemont to downtown Chicago during the 2008 National. We each had our iPhones loaded with our best cards and we shared our collections back and forth like two twelve year old kids. Jim's final image was his T206 Wagner. The man was greatness no matter how you sliced it. I am going to really miss him.
