RIP Syd Bolton
Victor Lucas just said he has passed away on his daily show on EPN.
I'm truly saddened by the news. He was a regular here when I first joined this site.
RIP Syd.

Re: RIP Syd Bolton
Wow he was only 46.
Never met him, got to see part of his collection at fanexpo a few years back.
Sad to see someone pass away so young.

Yeah - it was sad to see him go.

I'm pretty sure Syd was a founding member of this site.

I might be wrong about his handle. It's been a while.

Re: RIP Syd Bolton
My mistake. Makes sense. It's been a while. Not that it makes it any better.

Re: RIP Syd Bolton
Ahh man, I have been gone from here for a long time. Thought I'd pop in and see what's up...I am truly saddened by this news. Syd was a great guy and he will be sorely missed.
