A couple of my U.S. Philippines coins were sold to him over the years.
He was a legend in our little band of U.S. philippine collectors, and Philippine Collectors Society members.
There’s a good example of a JustHavingFun thread entitled:

on the front page of the Registry Forum.

Sad to hear this. I still have three deep cameo proof nickels I bought out of his set. The 1903 should not exist. He truly enjoyed his coins.
Were all of the DCAM nickels pedigreed to him on the holder? I have the unique 1906 DCAM nickel at both services, and I wonder whether it too came from his set.

So sad to hear this. He was a great collector and like @Stooge said he had a World Class Roosie set. I am proud to have one of his coins in my sets.
I don't recall him on the forum. My condolences to his friends and family.
