One of the true Stand Up and Honest guys in this business, not one who would purposely ignore a buyer...

 

Validates what I had siad previously about Life issues sometimes take a front seat and can't be ignored....

 

Condolences to his family.

Wow, so sad to hear- he was always a good guy - personally and professionally.

[danimal03]

that is sad.  I picked up some nice relics from him over the years.  I will miss his website.  RIP.

Oh man, that's horrible news. He was such a great guy and I've known him for around 20 years now. I was afraid his health had gotten worse again when I didn't receive any responses from him. I will surely miss him  : (

John Telesmanich

May 10, 1967 — October 4, 2024

White Plains, NY

 

John Telesmanich, 57, passed away in his home in White Plains, NY on Friday, October 4, 2024 after a valiant, nearly 4-year battle with cancer.

 

John was born on May 10, 1967 in Croatia, in what, at that time, was known as Yugoslavia. Early in his life, he moved to the United States.

 

A long-time resident of White Plains, NY, John graduated from White Plains High School, attended Pace University, and earned his business certificate from Westchester Business Institute (name changed to The College of Westchester).

 

John turned his educational pursuits and passion for history into his own successful antique business. He was held in high regard by his business associates and fellow collectors, often being sought as an authority on the authenticity of historical artifacts.

 

In his personal life, John always made sure to take care of those around him. John loved animals, especially the several dogs and cats he has had across the years. His family will remember John as a man who was one of a kind and as a man with his own special sense of humor. And, when you were with him, he always would ensure you were well-fed...or at least enjoyed some chocolate.

 

John is survived by his mother Cathy, siblings Vanessa [Justin] and Gaetano [Gabriela], nieces Zoe, Allegra, and Celine, and several beloved aunts and uncles. He was predeceased by his father Vincent and step-father Mario.
