Re: Loss of John Bystrek, a great collector and friend to many within the hobby



I heard the news after being at the show for only 30 minutes.
It hit me like a ton of bricks. It really put a damper on the rest of
the show for me.
You could always count on John to be at any show with some games. He
put a lot of time and effort into the hobby, not just for himself but
for everyone else.
A lot of us talked about John and what he did for the pinball
community, and it helped to make the day go by a little easier.
My condolences to his loved ones.
Rest in peace John.
You will definately be missed.
