Anything happen to Epic Contributor 5030?

[jmc]

Seems like he posts multiple times most days but "Last Heard From" on 10/6/25.

I don't know what, if anything, he would want said- but he was not in good health. There is a fair chance he has passed.

[EDIT]: I would check in with him fairly regularly, and now he hasn't been on in over a month.

I sent him a pm awhile back with no response. Ive been concerned myself.

A cantankerous but still likeable poster. I hope he's okay.

He'd posted about living with cancer many times, but I always had the impression it was a slow mover, with a years-long horizon.

I had the same thought about his cancer issue. Seems like he had his fingers in multiple personal businesses but, IIRC, he never mentioned unwinding them.

I don't know if this is him, but I know his name was Daryl...

Well that is not him...strong detective work.

He mentioned a career truck driving… can’t recall teaching or world travels in his posts.

I was in regular contact but my last PM unanswered…

Not to take away from Flip/5030, but has anyone heard from @Williy? He is another older fellow whose posts I enjoyed.

 

[kenmbz]

Have not heard from 5030 in a while, hope he is ok.

 

[JeepHead]

I had been wondering about him too. Hoping he's just up at his hunting property with his buddies having a good old time!

I went back to my PMs and 5030 said a big setback with his 8 year cancer fight…

Cancer treatments are brutal and we don't spend enough money in our country on cancer research. And we spend tons. Still, we don't spend enough.

Seems just about most I know get cancer if they live long enough…

Odd that in my extended family it’s only the men that get it… women more likely to have memory issues with age.

If you google obits southeast Michigan Daryl Davis a couple pop up but nothing you can say for sure is 5030. I’d say either way it doesn’t look good.

Daryl A. Davis from Deerfield Michigan.

There's a few that are MIA. Oosik, Willey, just to name a few.

@oosik has been around this month. Hopefully all is well for him.
