Passing of John Billingsley

Rest in peace

This hits very close to home for me, as I bought cards (an E90-1 Honus Wagner comes to mind) from John and enjoyed his friendship, even visiting him once at his home (I live less than 5 miles from him). He was a good man, retired senior master sergeant (E-8) from the US Air Force, and a good friend. I've missed seeing him over the last couple of years.

Rest in Peace John.

Always enjoyed talking with and buying from John. He was indeed a jovial guy and enjoyed seeing John and John (Richmond) at the national throughout the years. RIP John B.

My condolences to John’s family. I remember dealing with John ten plus years ago. Great guy, always fun to chat with. Rest in peace my friend.

Very sad news. I had many visits and communications with John over the years. Really knowledgeable and kind. Rest in peace John.

I bought a card on ebay from John about 10-12 years ago, and asked him if he had any others since I was still missing half a dozen cards from the set. 45 minutes later he called me with the numbers of 2 other dealers that had what I was looking for- he'd picked up the phone and tracked down the cards I needed for the set. He was always good to chat with at shows, and after helping me out I'd make a point to find something on his table.
Rest in peace John.

I don't have much to add to what others have said, but John was indeed one of the really nice guys at the shows, and I remember buying quite a bit, and learning quite a bit, from him.
