Looking for some help for our old timers on here.
A little while back we had the birthday for the Kid. He has not posted for 10 years (August 4, 2011), and that post was a run down of his illness. Johnny Bravo, his brother-in-law, had helped him and also kept him informed, but Johnny has also gone missing.
I believe that the Kid has passed during this decade, but I can't find anything. I don't want to add him to the list of those we have lost until I know.
Does anyone have any info on the Kid or Johnny?
-
I remember Kid Shelleen. He was a regular. Then he disappeared for a while. Then came back. I remember his illness that he talked about. Then nothing after that. It's been a long time. 10 years at least.
-
Did either of them have contact info in the Rangers section ?
-
No replies to messages sent to those.
-
Does anyone know if Johnny Bravo is on Faceybookey? Maybe that could facilitate a connection.
I remember The Kid. He was poisoned by food. It was an event that happened to quite a few people.

He was years ago, but have not heard anything in a long time.

I went and got Kid's name from the Ranger list and did an online search for a possible obit, but found nothing so far.
-
I've searched Obits - It's what taxidermists do for fun.
Another missing is M25Operator. Benny was last active here May 28, 2019, and he last posted Facebook July 21, 2021. Once again, obit searches have brought nothing.
Benny had a major health issue, recovered some, but as far as I know was very frail. His wife had issues as well.
I used to talk to him on the phone, but I quit calling him, because his heavy Texas accent was very difficult for me to understand.
-
I miss Benny. I had breakfast with him once quite a few years ago.
-
Found Benny!!!
I received a request from his wife - Didn't know the relationship, but recognized the name. I asked about relationship, and she confirmed "wife of 41 years." I commented on many of us losing contact with Benny (she refers to him as Ben), and she gave a brief rundown:
He is a quadriplegic (I think most of us knew about this, following a major health issue)
He was in a hospice unit
In 2014 they moved him to an apartment in Dallas
His Facebook account was hacked, and he wants to set up a new one in the near future.
Rosalba says to pass the word, and he will be back in touch soon. Hopefully we can steer him back to this sight as well.
-
Dang. I did not know he was a quadriplegic.
-
I knew he was having issues the last time I swapped messages with him (can't remember offhand how long ago it was).
It's been a while, but back then he was having to type with a pencil in his mouth, but even then felt optimistic for improvement.
-
I heard he was in a wheel chair, no idea he is a quad.
If you read this and need help with ada/ mobility in your home. Pm me. Even just a period. I will send you my contact info.
