David Lange Will Be Missed 1 1

[KarenHolcomb]

So I saw this on FaceBook this morning. Very sad. Mr. Lange answered one of my questions here and schooled me on Ejection Striations. He seemed to be a very member in these Forums and will surely be sorely missed. My thoughts go out to all his family and friends. This is a great loss to the Numismatic world as a whole. Rest In Peace Sir.

Very sad. He had vast amounts of knowledge and was always willing to share that. He will be missed.

That's a fact.

I think it would be cool if everyone would write about what their interactions with him were/what they learned from him for others to know how great he was. We all could also learn from what they learned.

Possibly another means of recognizing David would be for collectors to actually read his books and articles.

[JT2]

well one of his sayings was "you may not know why it is graded that way but i do"

[RWB]

...and he did; and could show you and explain it with detail and clarity!

[KarenHolcomb]

Yeah, that too. Although nobody would know if we read or not. If those he personally explained stuff too or those who knew him personally would share little tidbits of the knowledge he passed to them, like @JT2 did above, then his name and the knowledge he dealt out to others would spread by people reading what they write. At this point though, I suppose it is a moot point because we are the only ones to have said anything at all. But I do feel better having recognized him myself regardless of what other chose to do or not to do. He helped me out and I just wanted to share that.
