A sad day, indeed. Brian will be missed. For those who did not know him, Brian joined TSF shortly after its inception and was a frequent contributor. He also wrote an article appearing in the first issue of the Newsletter. Brian's website/blog may be viewed here.

Thank you, Michael ( Londonbus1), for starting this thread. I barely knew Brian ( BC), but I will never forget him, as he was one of the TSF Members who made some nice comments in response to some of my early posts. Thank you so much for your kindness, Brian. You will be missed around here.

This is really saddening. BeeSee was always the model of decorum, staying above the fray, open arms to any collector wanting to talk about stamps. BC in BC will be sorely missed. Thanks for letting us know, LB1.

This is very sad. BeeSee was always very helpful, generous when appreciating and encouraging others. He helped me (on another forum) on several occasions, eg when I was diving into the small queen's. I remember BeeSee as a true gentleman. My condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace. Jon

Jon Same with me....very sad to see BeeSee go - we did correspond a few times and I have a copy of his Small Queens gauge. He was always very helpful and a good person. René
