Jens, can i assume you are actually referring to YOUR thread about magnetic iron. Mare Rosu's contributions there were certainly a highpoint for that thread. This thread is epic.

I cannot express the sadness in the passing of this true Southern gentleman, whom along with Jens I have known for many years in communications. While his entries were not prolific, his contributions and very words were profound, and very much part of the fiber of us all.
Rest in peace musketeer, my dear friend.

Very sad to hear of the loss of another esteemed colleague on these pages. Knowledge and wisdom in our areas of collecting are hide to find, and Mare Rosu had an abundance of both. His contributions will be missed.

Ian.

Sorry David, yes that is the thread.
At one point he bought all the compasses in a shop, to prove how they reacted to the blade.
I will miss him very much.

Very sad. Prayers for his family.

Yet another colleague is gone....
May he rest in peace.

Having spent many years on this Forum, I have seen quite a lot of similar posts. Sad to read them and realize that the advance to the "first row" is inevitable.

I didn't know the man but I always feel a sudden hollow in the gut when I hear of people who sound like they had a wealth of knowledge on things that far too few concern themselves with pass away. It's tantamount to the mere thought of a book burning for me.
