Antique & Vintage Shopping Treat! Last Chance for Memories 😞

[@JFinnvt]

Such a sad reminder that we never know what the next day will bring. So glad you took the time to meet him and share this video along with his expertise with all of us.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

So glad I could indeed

[@katiejordan5643]

I own an antique shop right down from West End Antiques. We just opened last year. Daniel came to my shop a few times and every time we talked for about an hour. He was always kind and informative. I was just thinking the other day I hadn't seen him in a while. I had no idea he passed. Daniel actually told me he'd been asking you to come to Knoxville, so I'm sure he was really happy you did a video here. Thanks George for all the knowledge you and people like Daniel have shared. As a younger person starting out, it's much appreciated.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

He was kind and informative to me and our whole antique community as well! He mentioned there were some good other shops in Knoxville, I'll have to come back to see more. I am so happy I got to do this and share his knowledge while there was time.

[@katiejordan5643]

@TheAntiqueNomad We would love to have you at our shop if you do come back. There are a lot of shops close together in our area. Knoxville is a great area for picking. My husband and I are nurses by trade, and we've been kindly welcomed by other dealers we've met. I'm glad you got to meet Daniel.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

@@katiejordan5643 I’m definitely planning to come back and visit!

[@katiejordan5643]

RIP Daniel. What a multi faceted man. So much knowledge and talent.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Truly so

[@yvonnesangster2934]

I am so sorry for the family members who lost their loved one. I had enjoyed him so much during the video and felt like I wanted to meet him because he studied art as well as myself. I was shocked at it sudden passing. My prayers go out for his family! I miss the live feed last night because of back surgery yesterday morning but I sure enjoyed the show with breakfast this morning. His store is so beautiful!!!! I would love to go there. I hope his family keeps it going!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Hello! I hope your surgery went well and you are recovering nicely. I know other artists in our community have a feeling of kindredness, and it was very sad to lose his talent. I trust they will keep on with the shop and will help his family with everything.

[@mabelwells6299]

George, what a beautiful video and tribute to Daniel, thank you. Strength and peace to your friends family! Life really is to short!

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

[@Dianehussaini]

I’m so sorry to hear of Daniel’s death. What a talented man he was and I’m sure he enjoyed your visit. ❤️

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Yes, so was I! We did have a lovely visit and I'm glad we got to have it when we did.

[@SisterShirley]

George, what a fine video. The way you walked around with Daniel and talked back-and- forth about the items was so interesting and entertaining. I always learn so much from your videos. Tjs one was exceptional. I thought to myself. I wonder if I could make it to Knoxville in one day from Detroit? There was so much loveliness and fun there in that antique store. And to Daniel Claeys family and friends, my condolences to you all. I never met him but I did enjoy reading his comments on George's videos. His responses were polite and friendly, enthusiastic and infomative. He will be greatly and deeply missed. Most sincerely from The Great Lake State of Michigan 🐢

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

Thank you, Sister! I’m so glad you got to go with us one more time

[@iamgabriel5823]

Oh, that is so tragic that he passed away! I so enjoyed hearing all of his amazing knowledge. You can't put a price on that kind of knowledge when it is forever gone. Such a loss. May he rest eternally in the arms of the angels. Speaking of someone with tremendous knowledge -- George, I hope you are taking good care of yourself.

[@TheAntiqueNomad]

I’m trying harder, it’s a good wake up for us all

Thank you for sharing, George. Your visit will be a lasting treasure for all that knew him.

[@lanna7917]

The best part of being a dealer in antiques other than finding the one epic item you have been looking for, is to share your knowledge with someone who is very interested and as knowledgeable in the field. I'm sure he was thrilled to have you to talk shop with and to show you his passion for antiques. Enjoy every minute you have do a job you're passionate about and take nothing for granted.

[@DigginWithDeej]

What a wealth of knowledge. So sorry for his family's and your loss. 💜Deej

[@LindaKayHolevas]

I am so sorry to hear of Daniel’s passing. I have always interacted with him in the comment sections of Jocelyn‘s videos (& yours, too!). He has always contributed so much knowledge & I am so glad I thanked him many times for doing so. xoxo

How sad! What a lovely tribute

[@janetpogue4970]

[@Sass-Glass]

Hey George from way up here. Very good & informative video like always. Too short really, But, you got the chance to do the video with him & to see two people together who know so much of the history of the items we all love so much is such a treat for us. I'm sorry for you that you won't have the chance to go back & visit him again. It really was a once in a lifetime event. You got some good memories of that visit. He was an incredible font of knowledge & a pleasure to listen & learn from. Thank you for sharing your time with him. Be safe in your travels George, from way up here. See you soon!

[@CONSTELLATION_PEGASUS]

Good evening, George. I hope you had a great Easter weekend! Were those pearls, in the case at the start, real/cultured or costume? They looked knotted. I really like the classic look of pearls and cameos. That opera lamp was fantastic. I would love to have one of those barrister bookcases! There's a pretty pair of mantle lustres here. I have an old kerosene can I actually use. I keep kerosene in it to refill all of the lamps. Loved that old secretary desk! The $48.00. on the cordial set, seemed on the cheap side. I have a Jeannette shell pink juice set, in the Thumbprint pattern. Loved that Victorian cranberry epergne! Mom's has the "candy canes", with baskets hanging from them. That is horrible about Daniel! Prayers for his family 🙏 Losing a loved one is beyond expression...my recent experience has been devastating...but such a tragic loss is horrid! Thanks for sharing this one, George!

[@leeannmettlach2412]

I’m sorry for family of Daniel. Glad you visited him when you did.

[@m.c.master4622]

And we had nothing else to compare it to. Wish I still had it. Love Daniel's mixed media art!! So much talent & imagination. Great video. Thank you!

Please forward our true sympathy we feel to this amazing man’s family. George, what you said is so true and so motivating to me and I’m sure so many others. As soon as I finished your video, I got on messenger with two people. I have been meaning to talk to, and spend some time with. Even though we don’t mean to wetake for granted that someone is always gonna be there or we tell ourselves that I can talk to them tomorrow or next week or whenever. we really don’t know what time we ourselves have or that we have to spend with others so thank you for reminding me to quit putting it off. I am so sorry for the loss you must feel and that the family must feel. I feel so blessed to have gotten to watch this video, and just to get to see these few special moments that you two got to share.
