Whatever happened to your card dealer of the past?

Paul Snow who was set up at the NC fairgrounds. Great guy and very fair and honest. Was hooked when my Dad bought a 59 Skowron from him in early 1980's. He and his wife always wore matching colors.
I was able to catch up with him last year and interview him for my book. He was happily retired, still married and still matching his wife's outfit. He currently doesn't own a single card. Since retiring he settled down and became a Christian which IMO was pretty cool to see.

What I remember as a young collector in the late 70,s was a dealer Larry Gladstone from Oceanside NY. I kept his business card with a positive notation. I remember him being one of the younger dealers at that time. I got back into the hobby big time after a 20 year break and I purchased some items from Painthistorian and was pleasantly surprised that it was Larry and his wife and they were still in business. The only thing that upset me was the shipping charge as I pass his house every day when I go to work.
He is a class act
