I never knew Xxphd personally but I was privileged to admire his collections and his input. It is a sad to know when ones passing has come about and I take this time to remember not his passing but the zest he brought to us all and his work will be facet of that fact. My hopes and prayers to his family. May he rest in peace and may I, for the last time in this plane, push the "THANKS" button for all the joy and knowledge he shared with us all.
I thoroughly enjoyed making your acquaintance!
