Hopefully someone close will find him and he is well. Would be great to send him a gift for all of his insight and sharing of his knowledge and time.

Ok, this may or may not be the confirmation.... I too have wondered for the past few years.

My deduction is that his last post was at 1:23am the night of the forth, The report says death on the third. This was likely in the night and perhaps unknown. This is pure fairly evidenced based speculation based on a bit of research.

https://www.messingermortuary.com/ob...?obId=27893455

Perhaps someone can find some more links. Ai reported his name was Dan. and then search. North Scottsdale Arizona Obits for May...dont hang me if im wrong please as this is done in good faith.

If this is the case, he will truly be missed.

I asked him that one time and he responded by saying that he was just a civilian.

I have his email and sent him a note when this came up last year. Unfortunately no response. And no email kickback so looks like it went through. I posted this in another thread, maybe the 222 section?

Hope he's well doing other things yet time marches on.

He was so attentive to this forum and responded very quickly. Lets hope something came up that demanded his attention and he is ok.
