While we all knew this was going to happen I wish this day would have never come...

Incredibly saddened to hear a great artist, space dealer, space collector, organizer and most important great friend has just left us forever.

Still remembering our dinner at Spago restaurant in Beverly Hills after a Superior auction running into Leonard Nimoy while waiting for our car.

Though you are gone physically, memories will stay forever! RIP Kim and safe travels!

So very sad to hear and unfortunately I never got the chance to meet Kim but know that he was well respected and liked throughout the space community.

Thinking of his family at this difficult time. Rest in peace to our dear friend.

Kim and I had been friends for more years than I could count. When he first approached me about Spacefest, I couldn't say no.

Watching his decline over the years was heartbreaking, and knowing of his suffering was painful as well.

Thank you Kim for all of the ethics you brought to this community in days when it was lacking, and thank you for the opportunity you presented other with Spacefest.

Now we need to let Sally, Kelsey and Nathan grieve along with the staff of Novaspace who are in pain as well.

Goodbye old friend... may you soar amongst the stars you painted oh so well without pain.

Immensely sorry to hear this.

Deepest sympathies to Sally and the entire Novaspace family.

Devastating news. Novaspace has played a big role in my participation in this hobby.

I had the opportunity to meet Kim and Sally at the UACC show in Burbank, and they both took time out of their clearly busy schedules to chat with me. Wonderful people. Clearly, Kim is already sorely missed.
