Josh Evans Passed Away

[Leon]

This is awful news. I knew he had been very sick. He was always a strong supporter of our forum. And more importantly he and I had a special relationship. It was all good. At least a few times he yelled at me and we ended up hugging. I believe he spoke at no less than 3 Net54 dinners. He was always a trooper. I appreciated every thing he did for the forum and the hobby.
I will definitely miss him a lot. RIP friend.

Condolences to his family and friends.

I too was dismayed to hear of Josh's passing. We had exchanged emails and messages on hobby related stuff (including postings here on this board) for years and I had a chance to talk to him a handful of times over the years. Great guy who will be missed.

From 1999-2009 Josh and I were tight. Like really tight. We spoke on the phone every day. We traveled the country, Canada and Europe together. I have so many great memories.

We were truly friends inside and outside of the hobby.

He was a mentor and the most knowledgeable hobby generalist I have ever met (along with Heff).

He was a huge personality and he made a huge impact on my life.

My condolences to the Evans family (Andrea and Maxine) and to Lelands

So sorry to hear this. The first live auctions I attended were Leland's live auctions in NYC across from Penn Station in the early-mid 1990's. Josh had a meaningful impact on my personal collecting focus and he will be missed. My deepest condolences to his family.
