My heart goes out to his family and friends. It was such a shock to hear this news yesterday. It really has knocked the wind out of me. He was a kind man and had such great and intricate film and poster knowledge which he shared readily.
Missed but not forgotten.

Can't recall ever a dismissive or unkind word from him during the past 20+ years in his public writings. To have a friend like that is beyond miraculous - when it's so common for people - over a long period of time - to change directions or interests - to go their separate ways , e.g., "losing touch" - for myriad reasons. I'm very sorry for your loss and please grieve for as long as you want - for a friend who is worth never getting over. He still lives in your head, though, his voice, facial expressions, his thoughts, etc. What you had with him was golden, the real deal - with geography never a barrier for a friendship so durable.

We both made our living selling posters, we both loved movies, we both loved to talk politics, and we both loved to observe the crazy world of movie posters and the people who collect them. Channing was very smart, a world-class observer. We had some great trips together: New York, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Yosemite, Arizona. If you can travel with someone, you know you love them. Channing is survived by three siblings. This one hurts. Channing will be missed.
