I hadn't heard from Benny for awhile, and noticed he hadn't posted here since last August. So I googled his name today, and found this sad news:

https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/benny-haimovitz-obituary?pid=193971386

His account here is @Voyageur, and he went by greysoldier46 on eBay.

Rest in peace, Benny. You are missed.

    So sorry to hear that. Never met in person but traded with him. He enjoyed collecting.

    Super nice guy, he added some really nice medals/overstrikes to my Carr collection. Always pleasant to chat with and very fair deals.

    Sorry to hear. I remember his forum name,

    I read the brief obituary. A career in the military and then one in social work. Another part of our lives, such as what we persue here, will pribably remain a secret to the rest of the world for most of us.

    Benny and I traded quite a bit, and he sold me stuff when I ran out of coins to trade.

    RIP too young! I remember when 73 was really, really old. I have two guys that work for me that are 68, and have no idea how I'll replace them if they ever retire.

    I also so enjoyed his "Cracked, Shattered & Terminal" column in the eGobrecht each month.
    He gave me his insight and experience into really cool stuff, all for only the $25 LCCS fee. His column alone was worth the price of admission.

    I was always hoping that he would get to the 1875-CC BF-1 & the 1875-S BF-16 double dimes. I hope someone else continues his column.

    It's sad. Our "coin thing" has lost another irreplaceable member. And the knowledge that hasn't been learned by all of us is also gone.

    Rest well.

    Sad to hear. Sounds like a good guy that left too young at 73, though I didn't know him.

    Just noticed on his activity page that he is at 997 points which I think just misses 5 stars by 3 points.

    Maybe those who knew him may want to do the honor of putting it over the top by adding an Agree of Like to one of his posts.

    What an amazing idea: thank you!

    Benny loved the Owls, he always looked forward to each years new release.

    I was lucky and got this one from him.
