It was just announced on several FB pages that Tim Cote, the founder and proprietor of the original Diecast Pub forums has passed away due to complications after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Tim was a great guy and those of us who knew him will truly miss him. Over the years, we have lost some real supporters of the diecast and car hobby, as is true at these forums, too.
This picture was from 2008 at a Chicago DCP get together during a diecast convention. Tim is third from the right in the first row and I am in there, too.

Mike I see you fourth from the left in the back row. Is that Joe Kelly second from the right in the front row?

RIP Tim, the Pub was my favorite hang out for years (2001 to it's ending), thanks for the memories.
