Tribute to Joe Rust of the Gallery Mint Museum

Joe Rust
1956-2005

Touching letter from Ron Landis on Verne Walrafen's Gallery Mint Museum ScrapBook website


Note from Verne Walrafen on the Original Hobo Nickel Society website on February 7, 2005:

It saddens me to report I learned today that Joe Rust... Ron's lifelong friend, business partner and the other half of the "Doe Brothers" musical combo ...is deceased. His train came in and he was called to the Lord. His memory will live on forever in his music, his unequaled minting equipment restorations, his contribution to all the numismatic creations made by the Gallery Mint Museum and by those whose lives he touched here on earth.

We will all miss you greatly Joe! ~ The Ol'Fatman
