I went back to my DMs because we had some discussion about his illness. He said in January of 2022 how he just started a new treatment, and was hopeful for a better outcome. Sadly, that wasn’t the case.
It is with great sadness that I have to report the death of one of our regular posters, dazzleman. For many years he was one of our best regular posters who was always there with great information and insight. He will be sorely missed.
As some of you may know, dazzleman lived in the Brooklawn Park section of Fairfield. The street he lived on was near where I grew up and I loved to bike around his neighborhood and admire the beautiful homes there. This gave us a casual friendship via Direct Messages that I will miss.
He hasn’t posted here since late last year. I knew he was very sick but not long before he passed he sent me a DM joking that I hadn’t infracted him in a long time. He liked being infracted because it made him feel like he was a “bad boy”.
Below is a link to his obituary. It sounds like he led a wonderful life. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. Again he will be sorely missed. Jay
I spoke with him by telephone and he told me of his illness. I had lunch with him three times. He grew up near where I live. He died of the same cancer of which my Dad died in 1973. R.I.P.
Yes, he was too young and it was cancer which he alluded to in my DM’s from him. He was positive even up to the near end. It’s sad he lost the battle. And I’m sorry I didn’t think to check back with him sooner. My bad. Jay
I have been in situations where why it didn't end there no one can answer, but it didn't. If it did, I wouldn't be here. Most people in those predicaments don't live to tell the story.
I think he had the attitude that I have which is there is no point in worrying about things that are out of your control. Plus, once things happen there is nothing that can be done to rewind. No amount of whining, anger, depression, etc will do the trick. Just accept it and move on. The quicker you go through that, the better.
May his memory be a blessing to his friends and family.
