I just found out Al Fisher (Bosun Al) passed away (1 Viewer)

I am sorry to report that our good friend Al Fisher has passed away. Steven Chong just obtained some Heco items for me that I immediately recognized as being from Al's collection. Steven told me that a widow was selling her deceased husband's collection. In asked if her late husband was Al Fisher, and sadly it was so. He was a veteran, and a good friend. The hobby is poorer for his passing. Rest in peace, Bosun Al.

Sorry to hear that but that’s why I’m downsizing now; I don’t want to leave that task to my family.

Or worse get the chills that she will sell the sets for the value you told her you bought them for at the time to avoid major crisis.........

When a collector dies, selling the collection becomes a thankless task so whatever the family can obtain is more than sufficient.
