    My sincerest condolences to his family, including those of us on the Forum. I had the occasion to share some photo editing techniques with Lou, and his humor poured from those words. He will be missed greatly. image

    Condolences to Lou's family, friends and those of us who knew him from here. He was one of the great guys, and the handful of PM's we exchanged as well as the discourse here will be missed. RIP.

    I did not know Lou on a personal level, but I always appreciated his knowledge and his level headed approach on the boards... not to mention the lovely coins that he posted. He definitely was a gentleman, and I wish his loved ones well.

    This is dreadful newsimage Although I only saw him at the occasional coin show I considered him a friend and his sense of humor and knowledge of the Shield nickel series will be sorely missed. My prayers go out to his family.

    Lou and I gave eachother quite a bit of crap back and forth since he was a shield nickel collector and I was a liberty nickel guy, but the best of all was when he took TDN's avatar and made a few posts. Within seconds of posting a response along the lines of "since when have you ever even wanted a shield nickel?" to who I thought was TDN I caught my mistake and PM'd him telling him that he "SUCKKKKKK"ed... his response:

    "I might SUCKKKKKK, but you're the SUCKKKKERRRRRR. " image


    Lou, we will miss you. image

    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

    Oh, this is very sad news. I had always hoped to meet Lou at a show but never had the opportunity. I always enjoyed his contributions here.

    My sincere condolences to his family and friends. From reading the posts it was obvious he was universally liked.

    RIP, Lou. You will be missed.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
