Horrible news. As others have said, Jimmy was a fixture at the shows for as long as I can remember and had an encyclopedic knowledge of cards. My sympathies go out to his family and the 707 crew
RIP Jimmy.

Shocked and sad
Just saw him at the Shriner show a few weeks ago! Jimmy and I would regularly "compare notes" about some of the more obscure test and food issues as well as buy and sell to/from each other at the old Robert Morris shows in Pittsburgh. As previously echoed - just a stand-up "good" guy with an incredibly deep hobby knowledge. His presence and knowledge will be missed. Condolences to his family, Levi and his 707 family.

So sorry to hear this news. I was able to see Jimmy this week at the Chicago show. He told me he had brought some sets so I stopped by and visited with him and looked. We exchanged some information. I asked him if he had any information on the 1968 Cornflakes Football Cards, and if he knew of any advertising pieces about these cards. He told me that he would forward to a friend and let me know. He then showed me a picture of a Stan Musial oversized Red Heart Promo card he had just picked up and was very excited to get home and get to look at it. I would always stop by and say hi to Jimmy and ask if new anything about test issues or some rare item I was looking for. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. RIP Jim.

Passionate Man
Levi was my main contact at 707 so I didn't deal directly with Jimmy much. But all you had to do was hang around the 707 booth for a while and you can see that Jimmy was one passionate and intense man when it came to cards. I am sorry to learn of his passing. RIP.

Very sorry to hear this sad news. I spoke with him at the 707 booth at this year's National in Chicago, and made a purchase from him. Condolences to his family and his partners at 707. I don't want to get into the privacy of what happened, but does anyone know if his death was sudden.
