Anyone know what happened to Popgun Pete?

I just thought I'd reach out and ask since I haven't seen him here in a long while, and he was a very active member. I hope things are well with him.

Have you tried sending him a direct message? It does seem strange since he was so very active.

Yup, I sent one back on June 25 asking how he was doing. Unfortunately no response to that one. I figured that would've triggered an email notification to him.

The same thought crossed my mind recently, missing his presence. I consider @popgun pete to be the world authority on pneumatic spearguns, so have always deferred questions on them to him. He is also very knowledgeable on trigger mechanisms and the history of spearguns development.

I too hope he is well, and happy. Fingers-crossed

Let me see if I can get hold of him

Have not seen anything from Popgun Pete, or "Corey" aka Kavachi.

I found out that his birthday is on 06/26/1948 and he lives in Carnegie which is apparently a suburb of Melbourne. Nothing else

That'd make him about 77 I think. I hope he's ok.

OK, I did some investigative work due to being a worthless unemployed parasite with a lot of free time. From here: REMOVED I found out that his name is REMOVED. Doing Facebook search I found this: REMOVED. Judging by his interests (REMOVED) I think I found our man. His friend on FB is REMOVED plus 18 others I can not identify. I might do some further digging as to his status.

Can we keep private information for people and not publish online. I've removed the links you posted @vrokhlenko to help protect Pete's privacy.

I did email Pete but had no response.

Well, I would like to point out that all information was retrieved from the public forums and was provided by Peter himself. Not sure how those links violate his privacy but as an admin I guess you have more understanding on the subject.
Respectfully, Vadim

His posts seemed to indicate that he knew the Riffes well. I live about three miles from the Riffe plant and used to stop by frequently so I texted Julie Riffe and asked if she knew anything about his status. She never replied. She had replied on a different subject recently when I asked about the new sign on the building. I didn't want to push it further in case it was a matter of protecting his privacy.

I know Jill and Julie both very well as well so let me try that angle as well
