Damn this was a punch in the gut. I had to read the post twice just to make sure I read it right.
RIP Sir. So young and it makes me sick knowing you were so anxious to retire, just as I was able to recently. We are about the same age and I could relate to you, especially your view on working shitty hours and your love for the Munsters pin. I chatted with you once in a Pinside email and I liked you so much I automatically invited you to come to my house and play some pins. So sad we didn’t get the chance.
