Well I was looking for David Poole and found this Sad News....

1tommy1tommy Posts: 3,038 ✭✭✭✭✭

Checking his profile today I saw he was last on here in Oct 2021 and found this Obituary. Sad news as I bought a few of his Washington Quarters and did not see any other post about his passing. He was truly a nice guy to meet and sad to hear this. RIP and Condolences to His Family and Friends.

    It looks like him but I'm not sure it is he.

    If you check his profile the last date he was on was Oct 8th and The picture sure looks like him. @dpoole Plus I thought when he sent my coins they came from Texas. I hope I am wrong.....

    I thought he posted somewhere that he was a psychologist, but I could be wrong. I hope it is not him. He is a good guy and was always very pleasant and willing to share his expertise when asked. RIP.

    He was a psychologist and a great person. Also a talented numismatist. Unfortunately, the sad news is true.

    Oh no!

    This is terrible news. David was always quite kind in our private messages and he had an obvious passion for the hobby. I'm quite saddened to read this and my condolences go out to his family and friends. RIP, David.

    I'm so sorry to hear this. He was one of the sharpest people I've ever spoken with and had a remarkable wit and ability to coin a phrase. He was also a consummate collector and knowledgeable about a broad array of subjects with diverse interests. The world is a poorer place without him but a better place because of him.

    RIP.

    This one comes from the David Poole Collection and Before that Michael Fuller Collection. One of the nicest AU 55 I have Seen. 1942-D DDO FS-101

    I met David for the first time in 2015 at the Fun Show and I remember being so nervous as a new collector to this series. He could tell my passion for the Washington Quarters and was willing to share any info about this Great Series. The one thing he told me was to Not get Buried in the coins I collected and I have always tried to follow that advice.

    So many of our members that have just disappeared over the years and sure makes you appreciate the time we all have left. Enjoy.

    Very sad to hear. David was one of the forum members I met up with many times over the years at various shows, and he was always a class act with a smile on his face.

    This saddens me beyond any ability to express. David was a rock solid decent guy. He could remain unflappable in the midst of forum turmoil like nobody else, and produce wisdom in the middle of it. Gone way too soon.
