Thanks Jim,
He and I lived fairly close by and became very good friends over the years. Unfortunately over the last four or five years of his life I don't think I visited more than once but we spoke on the phone frequently. He was in very bad health. Also his relationship with his family wasn't the best to say the least. I expected his collection to get sold off immediately.
I spent a lot of time at his house and would recognize a number of pieces instantly if they popped up.
