I just found out that long-time Iola, Wisconsin numismatist Rollie
Finner passed away on Friday after a long fight with cancer. He was
extremely active in both the American Numismatic Association and the
Central States Numismatic Society, quite often the "voice of the ANA" at
the Message Center during their annual conventions. He was also the
long-time editor of the award-winning CSNS journal "The Centinel".
Rollie was also an active exhibitor, exhibit judge, speaker, hard worker
and general all-around "good guy", and was married to former ANA VP
Patti Finner for the past ten years. He will be greatly missed.

The ANA has published a brief obit on their website:

I'm sure that more will be forthcoming in a future issue of "The
Numismatist".
