Sad News

Hearing this sad and shocking news I just wanted to add my voice to the growing tributes for Lew in the hope that our condolences will be passed to his family and that they will know that beyond the most important roles in his life: of Son, Husband and Father, that his passion for knowledge, understanding and collecting led him to be a part of a global online 'community' where his input was valued and his absence will be noticed and felt, long into the future.

I did not know Lew 'offline' as some of you did. But through our conversations online and from reading his posts here I 'knew him' to be a passionate collector and enthusiastic researcher of our chosen field and while we didn't always agree I found him to be an approachable and straight-talking bloke with no side, who always found the time to share his passion for collecting and enjoy discussing both his 'finds' and those of others.

Rest easy Lew.
