Sad News
It is with great sadness that I have to inform you of the passing of our friend Lew Waldman.
During surgery to remove a brain tumor in mid February he suffered a severe stroke. He passed away either last night, or this morning. He was a good friend. He will be missed. Steve Ferguson |
Sad to hear. I didn't know him personally, but I will miss his insightful comments.

That just makes me sick. :(
However, thank you for the update Steve. Brain surgery like that is always very risky. We are all diminished by his passing. Our loss........... |
Godspeed, Lew . :(
|
Very sad news, may Lew rest in peace. My condolences to everyone here who knew him personally.

My deepest condolences to Lew's family and to everyone that cared.

This is indeed very sad news. Our forum here has done a great job of bringing together a family of collectors to share their enthusiasm, knowledge and interest in our favorite subjects. Thanks to Lee, Artzi and Avner for having the great idea to begin a forum gathering which I believe started near a dozen years ago in conjuction with the Baltimore show. We missed last year but got back together this year. We had a great turn out. It was through this venue that I had the opportunity to meet Lew. If it hadn't been for that, I might have only known him online. But to meet someone, shake their hand, put a face with the name, added so much to all of his future posts for me. While I am saddened by the announcement of his passing I'm very thankful that I had the opportunity to meet him in person and understand that passion first hand.

I got to know Lew through this forum as many people did in here. Thanks to Artzi I became good friends with Lew and found out he lives just a few minutes away from me. We always made the trip together to the Baltimore Arms Show. I missed him on this trip...a good man, a great friend and fellow collector. My prayers to his wife Michelle, his son Seth and family |

Very sad indeed - my condolences to Lew's family.

Really a sad news... I did not know him personally, but Lew was always kind to answer my emails advising and giving an opinion with weapons that showed him in pictures.
I remember my "race" with him on the Sudanese arms daggers.... I miss you very much dear Lew. Condolences to the Waldman family Flavio |
Thanks Steve for the news even though it is awful. I liked Lew so much and loved to tease him about his 'Yankee' accent. My Sudanese daggers from him are some of my best, and now they will take on a whole new meaning my collection.
My sincerest condolences to his family. The forum has lost a GREAT friend. |
Rest in peace, Lew, we will miss you.
|
Such a loss.
May the earth doesn't get heavy on him. Condolences to his family. |
Sad sad news indeed.
My condolences to his loved ones. |
Very sad, I had hoped to meet him in person this year.
My condolences to his family and close friends. Michael |
Sad news for the family and an unwelcome surprise for Lew I would think.
I went through some personal emails we exchanged...he was of help to me and generous with information. I'll miss him May he have a big pile of Ethno goodies to sort through in the life after and the folk who made and used them around for good discussions. Thank you Lew! Ric |
Very sad news. He will be missed.
|
A heavy blow. My last pm was to offer courage for the procedure . Sad day.

Condolences to Lew's family. Very sad news and he will be bitter missed here on the Forum. Rest in peace.

Words fail me.
Rest in peace, my friend. |
