I've been super busy the last few months with things.. But I just learned Bob C. died on June 12 2018..

Surprised no one here put anything out.. In the early days here he used to post.. DEF knew his Samurai Swords,,,, and also his Nazi Regalia..

About 9 or 10 years ago Kris L. introduced me to him at a SOS show.. He says 'oh your the ring guy,,I gotta a ring for you,,just don't have it on me. I'll bring it next year'... No offer to email or call about it,,,next year.. So I say thanks, pleasure meeting you blah blah...
The next year at the SOS I hear,,,Gaspare!!, I walk over and give him a hello.. Well,,I bought from him,, one of the nicest rings I have in my entire collection. Wasn't cheap,,he knew his values,,but I paid and was glad to have it.

Bob, thanks... Sorry your gone,,and,, Rest In Peace..........., Gaspare
