As our posts did not come back for @TheRetroNerd, I thought I would try to recreate what I remember.

Retro (Anthony) was a frequent participant in our chat room. He helped @ryanfury with Pin Trading Database too.

A few years ago, Anthony moved from Southern California to Las Vegas. He sold the majority of his pins (Marvel and Star Wars were his collections).

We are coming up on the one year anniversary of Anthony's death (4/13).

Here is his obituary:

Through the generosity of DPF and PTDB members, we were able to purchase three trees in his memory. I'll post pictures of the receipts and where they were planted in the next posts.
 
It sucks that it did not come back. It is almost like losing him all over again. Anthony aka NERD.. I think about him often. I miss seeing him in chat and all our weird conversations. I am sad I never got to make him a cake/dessert like he kept asking for.

I know, it really does. That's why I wanted to make sure I posted this again. I still can't believe that next week will mark the one year anniversary :(
 
Does anyone here (I know a few locals might) remember Mike LeBlanc (not sure if I spelled his last name correctly). He was on DPF way back when I first started. Anyway, He passed away, 1-1/2 ago? Throat Cancer. He was very quiet about the illness. I found out from a mutual friend. I was shocked to here the news. Anyway, thought I would mention it here.

OMG! You mean the guy who spoke French,

Mike Le Méchant​



He was @Diablo here on DPF. Aww, I hadn't heard that.
