Default Wax Museum of Illegal Stamps

On 19th December I received a telephone call from
Annelise Smith, John Smith's wife, with the sad news
that John had passed away as the result of a heart
failure, only 51 years old. John leaves his wife, Annelise,
2 children and 3 grandchildren behind.

Mrs. Smith has advised me that since she does not wish
to continue John's websites, including "Wax Museum of
Illegal Stamps", they have been taken down by his estate.

John was the son of Mrs. Marie Smith, who died about
4 years ago, and who was an ardent art stamp collector
with focus on Chinese arts. John's friendship, kindness,
and helpfulness will be remembered fondly by all who
knew him.

Condolences all around. :^( Seems like some of our friends have made
it to the philatelic bourse in the sky.

Hey - they'll all get along. Up there, there's plenty of "Cattle In
Storm", "Basel Doves", and other favorite stamps. Plenty enough to
share for all...

No need for eBay, just ask the Big Guy and all the new issues come to
your door, postage free.

As I've mentioned before, any loss is sad. We make a lot of friends
in our dealings with other collectors and sometimes those connections
are closer than our families.

All we can do is carry the torch for the hobby until it's our time to
join them. And carry it we do...

It certainly is, just look at the sky at night and see the stars, the
souls of all those who have gone before us. It somehow brings them
closer to me.
