RIP Jacques Littlefield

Sad, very sad. I actually met Littlefield once, and it is no overstatement to say that he was one of the most unassuming people you could ever meet… certainly not the kind of guy you would imagine owning 200 tanks, artillery pieces, and other heavy mechanized military equipment. Always accessible to the press and anyone just interested in tanks, Littlefield embodied the very meaning of passion and dedication of purpose.

Jacques Littlefield, an unassuming multimillionaire who amassed the country’s largest private collection of tanks and other military armored vehicles, died Wednesday at his Portola Valley ranch. He was 59.

[From Jacques Littlefield, tank collector, dies]
