The other day I was trying to remember his name. All I recalled for certain was he was from SC.
Thanks for the answer and hopefully someone can answer your question |

Is this a new phenomenon? Where people make threads asking where random posters have gone after they have moved on from arfcom? Or has this always been a common occurance

Ops used to be close friends with him I think. But he doesn't post any more either as far as I know.
TJ might know. |

I found an obituary that matches his name and town.
I'll post more later when I get home. |

Once I confirm it I will put together a little obituary here for him.
He always would say his wife was sick but I am starting to think that was a cover story and it was really him. |

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't he the one that started the "pay it forward" thread"?

I was not able to confirm this, but his name, age, Veteran status and Masonic Lodge all match to the man that I knew.
Rusteerooster, 69, passed away Thursday evening, August 3, 2017 at Medical University of South Carolina. Born May 19, 1948 in Fort Monroe, Virginia. He served his country in the United States Navy and served in Vietnam. He was also a Master Mason. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society at www.lls.org. ================= I edited alot of it out, but thats plenty. The suggested donation to, Leukemia and Lymphoma Society suggests that he may have died from that. =============================================================== Some of the letters to his family touch on his generosity and compassion for his fellow man. Like this one, We have had many discussions on the web and we have had many discussions on the phone, he was always a wonderful guy that I admired. I am very sorry for our loss, may God continue to bless each of you and give you peace knowing his work here is done. and We will miss him so much. He was like part of our family. One of the best men we have ever had the privilege of knowing. We are so sorry for your loss. |

I dont know, but this is the survival section and he was pretty well known in here and over 60 years old. If he moved on from Arf, it was to heaven. Very decent and generous man. Wish I could have gotten to know him better. |

There was a time where some members of the forum got together and someone who had a sawmill cut the boards and someone else (Ops?) delivered some wood for him to help him build a house. Never heard more about it so I always wondered if he ever got it built.

Shibumiseeker cut the lumber -- a bunch of it. Ops hauled one load down, and I hauled the other -- along with my old woodstove and a bunch of propane bottles and other stuff from @odontia32m Spring of 2010 maybe? Quote HistoryQuoted:

I was wondering about him the other day. I was going to pm. Being caught up in my divorce sure separated us. Alot of us gave our last dollar and time to help him. It seemed how could you not. I probably sent $1000 plus stuff. My xwife never questioned my motives.
RIP friend |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I remember a post from Ops where he alluded to things not working out so well for his move but I don't think he elaborated. Sounded like he got scammed but maybe I misunderstood. Looks like he hasn't posted since 2016. |

He seemed like a very nice and helpful guy. He contributed a lot of useful info to the SF.
IIRC I met him once around 2005 when he sold something on the EE. I still have it and will think of him when I use it. |

Oh man, that's bad news. Met him once or twice at a board event. Heck of a nice guy.
Last I had heard, he was going through some rough times. If I recall him and our old buddy Ops were pretty close. Tj |
