I think Diesel is gone.

[aviator]

I found a Google Earth picture of his home from a year ago , the car was full of leaves, the house was overrun by trees and the front in total disarray, then found the same address listed for sale, all fixed up, trees and car gone . Could not find out if it was a probate sale but he was in his late 80's. So he's either gone or the Government sold it to cover nursing home charges.

I think you’re right, he was an interesting guy. RIP friend.

Diesel had a lot of health issues he would mention here. The guy told some TALL tales over the years, that's for sure. One that stood out was he knew all the conspirators involved in the JFK killing. Named some names and also claimed Kennedy was actually sniped with a Jap 7.7mm MG converted to fire only semi-auto. In any case RIP

R.I.P. Diesel your stories were sure interesting true not true who cares they were enjoyable.

He was a Nazi, a Jew, he conspired to kill MLK and got caught, served time, then started converting AK's to FA and sold one to an undercover, so he served more time plus some other issues, there are all sort of articles about him on the internet. Some anti establishment sort of person who wouldn't fit well anywhere. I guess in his last few years he felt welcomed here...so we let him in, why not? Back in Gunsnet days he was different though.

He was a lot like Colonel Angus, an acquired taste.

RIP

If you give me the address I can look it up to see who the current owner is and sales history.

Naw, I could have done that too but it's not important at this point. I did look up the coroner's records and could not find him there either so who knows. We have lost a lot of people in 20 years, that's what you get when you deal with old farts. We just drop off, sometimes there is an obituary, sometimes not. I've told my wife and kids, no funeral services, none of that stuff for me, get my ashes, dig a hole in my island in front of the ocean and drop me there. Put a big rock on top so I don't get out.

Yea, seems like we’re all at the age when our contact lists are shrinking faster than they are growing.

[STG44]

yes at 63 I am the last one from those I went to school with

[Retvet]

Tried buying an Enfield grenade launcher sight off him back in the Gunsnet days. Never got it. That was about the time the Feds caught up with him. I did get a refund later on, so he was a straight up dude in that respect. I had no issues with him and hope he's resting peacefully in God's house.

i don't recall him from GN or here. Nonetheless RIP. One hopes their demise elicits a "what happened to..." thread. But I guess it really doesn't matter. You must apply the 100 year rule. In 100 years what will matter? If you build 1,000 bridges but suck just one cock, you will forever be a cocksucker. Have you had your cocksucker moment?
