I read this post and shot him an email. The good- he's still on the green side of the lawn. The bad: a laundry list of health issues that tend to kill most folks but just mildly slowed him down. At 85-to be expected. A great guy; I'll never forget a terrible breakfast at the Kissimmee Golden Corral with a few forum members and then going out to the parking lot to feast our eyes on his extensive collection of Colt Diamondbacks. Let us handle them like it was no big deal. I miss seeing him at the Lakeland show, both Ditrina and I would blame him for buying guns we don't need. Dimonback (no D) 68+, his forum handle was his age at joining. Joe
