Dear Friends and Fellow Collectors

Greetings to you all and may this message find you all well and still collecting....
Often, time does not afford one to learn of fate therefore some life events occur and erode as footprints in the sand.....what a battle!

I felt it was time to make this post and express my gratitude to all of you whom I have shared interest with in collecting paper money over the years. While the NY Collection and Large Size has been all but dismantled I sometimes look back at where it took me and the distinct please it was to know you all and the opportunity to exchange thoughts, ideas and personal feelings with Gene Hessler, Don Kelly, Brad Neely, Michael Moczalla (of Heritage) Coin Talk's Own Peter Davis, so an many others it is amazing the quality of people here and that you meet.
USS656, Green18, Krispy, Scottish Money, RZage, Doug, PennyLady, Arizona Jack, Duke Kavenaugh, SteveinTampa, The Noost, Gsalexan, Paddyman, KooKoox10, MikeNoodle, Saltysam Rlmcents..gosh the list just goes on and on..thank you guys for a great experience...and being who you are...I may not post as much any more and have been away for a while so please accept this as my best wishes for you all.
I thank my son for his love and wanted to let you know that one of the few original BEP proof's of Pablo the Bison resides with AJ for the years ahead of him, I do thank Mr. Hessler for that opportunity.....what an impressive piece.

I leave here wanting you to know that you are some really great people and I hold all of you in high regard...all the best in Life too you.

Sorry to see you go.

We really miss your wisdom, input and encouragement here on the forum RickieB.
Thanks for everything you so generously and humbly shared and helped us with.

 

I wish you the best in your future endeavors!

“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.”

 

Rickie, you will be missed greatly and remembered fondly. Fare thee well, my friend!

 

You can't leave. I just joined a few months ago so I don't know you. Sincerely, my best wishes go with you.

 

There are some journeys we must travel alone... when that journey ends we shall all meet again... take care until then.

 

Rickie , you will be missed . I just wish I could express myself better , and wish you the best and my thanks for sharing your wisdom with us . Post when you can .

 

Fair Winds and Following Seas my friend!

 

The feeling is mutual.

 

You are not replaceable RickieB. Neither are the the contributions you made to this site and to the growth of your fellow collectors. You are one of a kind my friend, you will always be remembered.

 

My prayer for you is that the Creator keep you folded within His wings of grace until the end of all time and eternity.

 

Thank you for everything you've shared with us here, and thank you for giving us this opportunity to say it. We've missed you, and that's not going to change.

 

I hope we all can follow your example of generosity, helping fellow collectors learn more about their interests by sharing your knowledge and encouragement. You've been a great asset to this forum and you'll leave a great void. Thanks for all you've contributed here -- we'll think of you often.

 

RickieB, You have touched many lives with your passionate approach to paper money. You even inspired many like me to look into paper collecting in addition to coin collecting. You will be missed but never forgotten.


Simper Fidelis

 

Beautifully said, if I may share my opinion.

 

You have been an integral part of this forum and shall not be forgotten. Best wishes on your life journey.

Dear RickieB,
We haven't exchanged posts, and I haven't been around for a while, but I would like to thank you very much or all of your kindness. When I first joined, you were one of the very first people to welcome me here with a kind note. I have not forgotten you. I wish you well sir, on your journey from today going forward!.. Do stop in when you can.

My kind regards,
Lucy Ray (Linda)
