Terrible News: Jim Blumenthal Passed Away Last Night

[timn1]

Jim was always smiling when I saw him; I didn't know that much about his interest in Buddhism but it makes sense- he seemed to have an inner peace about him that made everyone happier when he was around. People tend to say nice things about those who pass away, but the tributes in this thread testify to what an extraordinary fellow Jim was - like all those who have posted above, I will miss him greatly.

This is terrible news, I didn't know Jim personally but I admired his evenness on the board. I also admired his taste in cards, and how humble he was owning cards like the Ty Cobb with the Ty Cobb back. And a Wagner. Amongst many other mind blowing cards. I will miss his presence on the board, and my condolences to all of his family, friends, and students.

Sincerely, Clayton

remembering Jim today. We miss you, bud.

I have thought about him at least each day, usually more than once, since he passed away. I will miss him (as many will).
