It has been a very long time since I was actively on this forum, but coming back just made me reminisce about all the good laughs I used to have back in the day. I suspect from reading some of the posts that two of my favorite members Mitch and John Gamble are no longer active and have passed. After a long day at work it would really make me chuckle to see a forum post marked disappointed with a laundry list of Italian military vehicles on it or Mitch passionately discussing his disgust at the historical inaccuracies of a piece. I hope everyone on the forums are in good health.

Best wishes,
Bzr116

John has indeed passed. Mitch used to be very active on the Hobby Bunker Forum but then stopped being so. I suspect that he passed away. That, unfortunately, does happen as many notable members like Larry Lo, Cardigan500 and Lancer are no longer with us.

I remember ‘ The Lt.’ Really enjoyed his Zulu as did I. Was sad when we lost Joe. Mike Miller also, especially his JJD and Ancient Egypt dioramas, although I am fairly sure he is still around, just not on the forum. Robin.

I think Mike reads but no longer posts.

They and others are gone, but they still echo with their previous posts. Remember them and smile, that is a fine way to keep their memory alive. Same with anyone you lost who you cared about.

THAT LT WAS A GOOD MAN

Mike Miller is still with us. He liked something a few weeks ago.
The rest, RIP

Indeed he was. He always had a good word to say.

I miss them all. So many good friends have passed over the years.

So glad to hear Mike Miller is still chugging on, what a great man

Has anyone heard from Rob in the UK recently? He used to be a prolific collector of K&C Second World War series and was a regular poster on this forum.

I used to really enjoy the banter with the Lt (and others like Larry Lo and Evilchuck). They were gents and great fun.

Gone but not forgotten - Lt was a big factor in stimulating me to start the Bulge and Arnhem diodrama threads.

Feb 2007 - "The Lt and I were discussing some posts and he suggested a WW2 thread, here goes".

Funny how much you can like a bloke you never met (Lt).

Thanks to all the past (God bless) and present people at Treefrog for enabling this.

As far as I know he doesn’t collect anymore but has been quite active on Facebook.

Go for it Rob, based on the high number of posts and rank he earned on Treefrog he'll soon out rank Zuckerman on Facebook

 

[OzDigger]

It's not Zuckerman, I meant the other Zucker.

One person I don’t want to forget is Chuck Harris. Chuck was a great person, great collector and Vietnam Vet. RIP buddy.

Chuck was amazing! My son Alec used to talk to him on the phone, calling him "Pop Pop." The man was a national treasure!

UK Reb/Rob posted an explanation on his diodrama thread explaining his exit from the Forum and TS. Mostly not wishing to be harrassed due to the political climate for his affection for Confederate figs.
