    I've known and done business with Bob since
    he started, and I was at Numismatics, Ltd.
    at that time.

    Nice guy, good sense of humor, honest, and
    he'll be missed by those of us here in Southern
    Calif. who knew him.

    Sorry to hear about this. When I used to live out in California I went into his shop several times. Had some great conversations with him about buffalo nickels.

    I'm sad beyond words. I keep trying to write something but I can't hit the right keys. Bob and his lovely wife. My mentors when I was a young and wild kid. May he rest in peace.

    Wow, this is very sad. I live in Orange and I've visited the shop a few times. Condolences.
