Billy Jamieson.

Still a young man, truly, and a man whose importance to collecting and &ldquo;spreading the word&rdquo; had yet to be fully felt, his passing leaves a hole at least 10X larger in the business than the enormous hoard of attractions he leaves behind...<\/p><\/blockquote><p>My own experience with Billy was marked by kindness, generosity of spirit, and a sharp and roving intelligence. He loaned us a variety of artifacts from The Niagara Falls Museum--a circa 1827 dime museum whose entire contents he had purchased in 1999--for use in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spectacularium.org\/\">The Coney Island Spectacularium<\/a>. He also joined us at Coney Island a few weeks back, where we enjoyed the pleasure of his company on the judges stand of The Mermaid Parade followed by a memorable and inspiring lecture in the museum.<\/p><p>I still cannot quite believe he is really dead. He was one of the most full-of-life and inspiring men it has ever been my pleasure to meet.<\/p><p>Rest in peace, Billy. You are--and will  continue to be--sorely missed.<\/p><p>Photo sourced from <a href=\"http:\/\/lab.colorsmagazine.com\/content\/bill-jamiesons-shrunken-heads\">Colorslab<\/a>.<\/p><div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.immortalitymedicine.tv\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/03067_6582997874621015158-4535738907384751070?l=morbidanatomy.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much has been said about the sad and sudden passing of epic collector and friend to many (including myself!)
