Those of you who have been here since 2004 will remember BigIndie's (Mike Dalzell) posts. It's hard to believe he's been gone 3 years today, but for his friends and family, he lives on in numismatist heaven. Oreville and I worked on a commemorative set for his wife Heather and his son James. PCGS was most gracious in slabbing the memorial coins below and a lot more (1974 and 2004 proof sets).
The gorgeous wooden cases were provided gratis by one of the board members, Solid. The workmanship is exquisite.
Oreville drove up here to Central NY to present the coins and Heather was most touched by not only this but all the kind comments left by our members on the original thread. BigIndie's Passing
A happy Mike in September 2002:

Fond remembrances of a cool guy, a great father and loving husband. Oh yeah! A wild and crazy numismatist that loved the hobby!

I wish I could have gotten to know him. That's a great verse at the end of his last post. Col 2:7.

What nice immediate, extended family and friends.
I felt blessed that day when I had the opportunity to represent PCGS as well as the board members.
In a wierd way, I hope everyone here gets the opportunity to experience what I felt that day.
A sense of graciousness.
Just wanted to bump this up top
