The philatelic world has lost a giant, we mourn the death of Bob Dumaine. Bob loved everything about stamps and stamp collecting. His influence, creativity, and knowledge will be sorely missed. I especially remember his activity in 1992 to create standards for Stamp Auction houses. We were just getting started writing auction software in 1990 and would create StampAuctionNetwork in 1994, so that was all vivid in my memory. Read the full obituary (here).
