When someone dies, all that we know is that they quit posting. In rare instances a friend or family member who knew they were active on here may give us a head's up. But with most, we never know for sure what happened to them. That is the way it will be for me, too.
I lurked in the shadows for over 10 years before finally joining in. I don't think there has been a week that I haven't looked in at least once in the past 20-odd years, and usually several times a week. At least since I retired I don't feel as though I should be out doing something constructive as often as I used to.
I do miss reading stuff from James the retired naval officer; the retired cop from new jersey; the guy who lost a leg in an IED blast in the Mideast; the list goes on and on but I can't remember their user names any more.

At least 15 years ago member 358Winchester who I only knew through this forum, held onto all of my guns while I was out of the country on deployment.
Trap55 is another close friend I don’t see posting any longer, he is the reason I learned to reload.
My Dad was also quite a notorious character on this forum.

I liked zipperzap. He had a fascinating story, he and his pal were camping out in New Mexico at midnight they saw a UFO land on the far hill. They watched it for 15 minutes and it flew off. Very believable story.
Also, like me zipperzap had made many vacations to Mexico and we enjoyed sharing stories.
Sadly, his wife chimed in one day with his funeral notice.
I also miss Wild Man Dennis Neilsen and the sad story of his little pet deer.

I remember the health issues, the best I remember is he was taking every known narcotic all prescribed by various doctors fighting his cancer in humongous doses and it showed in his writings/postings on here. I hope he survived the meds and the disease.
My wife and I, went out to dinner with Dave and his wife in NC, about 4 years ago. I could hardly understand what Dave was saying, because of his tongue and throat cancer. I can tell you, he was a very nice gentleman and his wife was absolutely wonderful. My wife and I enjoyed their company. Very good, down to earth people. Dave was nothing like he was on the forums. The man is the salt of the earth, as was his lovely wife 😉.
Okay, who was the damn Doctor that faked his death, then died??? He really pissed me off, after all the nice things we all said and the care we showed him.😣.
I have been a member since Feb, 2000 and seen a lot of people come and go. Two that touched me very much were, Whiteclouder and Searchers5. Both their deaths really effected me, as well as Marks passing this year.
I always told Donna, if anything happens to me, please post it on Gunbroker, so everyone can have a good laugh.
I also made some life long friends on here. Chris Streett and Roger,(OL Woodshed and his wife Dori. I speak to them every week. Funny how Chris and I live states apart, and have homes in the mountains, less then ten miles from each other.
I really like every person on here, for their unique characters, Knowledge and friendships. Thanks everyone for 23 great years on the forums. John (Oakie) Taggart. And Yes, Oakie really is my real middle name. Thanks Dad. 😉😊

"Okay, who was the damn Doctor that faked his death, then died???"
Spartacus was the name he went by on the forums. I believe his real name was Dr. Thomas Plumeri. He fooled a bunch of folks, myself included. Burned that name into my memory, along with a couple others.
I really need to work on my forgiveness skills.

I miss BSR. I admired his tenacity. You either liked him or did not. i liked him. Come to think of it, I liked a lot of the members that are now missing. -----------Ray

Pabooger. Also Mabooger. There may have been other Boogers as well. And Patbuzzard. Pat was a moderator for a while. He and Mark C. didn't get along at all. Eventually Pat left and Mark stayed, benefitting the forum greatly.

I always liked comments from Government cheese ( I think he had another handle at one time)
I remember pictures of the beautiful home he had built
Perry Shooter (Karl) was a very nice man as well.. I got to meet and spend some time with him here in Louisville at one of our big gun shows.
He ask me to join him for dinner but I already had other plans. I regret missing that opportunity.

Captain Midnight! One of the three members I've had the pleasure to meet in person. He was as big a character in real life as he was here on the forum. "Young lady might have some dairy blood in her".... LOL! I about fell outta my chair laughing the first time I read that.

That's him! The mayor of Carson, Washington. He and Dads3040 and I met up in Cascade Locks once when I was travelin' through there. We had a real enjoyable lunch and visit and then W.D. gave Dads and I each a quart jar of his home made 'Apple Pie'. Best. Apple. Pie. EVER! OMG it was smooth as could be and had a wallop to it!

Maybe some of you folks can remember the fellow MC sent to the" Island of Misfits".
He copied many photos from other sources and calimed they were all his firearms. Talk about a collection, not..

mrmike08075. If I recall, some members here passed the hat to buy one of his guns that he listed on the auction side and sent it back to him. We all felt sorry for him because he had pancreatic cancer-for 10 years. I could never figure that one out.

Was MC the one who allegedly had a myriad of life threatening medical problems that he was taking all sorts of radical treatments for?

Which MC?

Yeah, I always wondered about mrmike08075, too. He seemed a little hard to believe. Didn't Kasey sell the gun that members paid for and turned back?

Highball, LT, Dances With Sheep, TRFox, (for NRA entertainment purposes.) Many, many more.
Highball could set you straight if you strayed from the strictest interpretation of the Second Amendment.

I went up to the Carson Gun Show once, just to meet him, wish I had more chances too do the same....
IIRC, he ended up passing away due to some amputations from Agent Orange.
