    Ummm, maybe I missed something, but why do we think this guy is Flylo?

      Not Fly Lo, he was in the Hardware buisness I think. Saw him once at a auction.

          I believe he died and shortly after his wife died. Not 100& sure.

              His name is or was Richardson. I sold him some Trav-a-Dials that he was going to put on his American Pacemaker lathe. That was several years ago, and for the life of me I can't remember or find his full name and address. I do recall his stating that he was quitting this forum because he was tired of the BS and attitudes. He was not banned. I seem to recall his having some run-ins with that jackass 3 phase lightbulb who did get banned. I think the last time I corresponded with him was in 2019.

                Quitting the forum seems to be a common theme

                  We communicated a hand full of times and I met him once and I commented that he had the same last name a school friend of mine unless I mis-heard him.

                    I looked up his most recent posts and he had what he thought was pneumonia. I think it was near the start of covid and hope it wasn't something that sidelined him permanently. I sent him a text last week but haven't heard back.

                      That most definitely isn't Flylo. I've met him several times and bought and sold machinery from and to him. And I'm pretty sure that wasn't his wife in the other obit either. I've met her too.

I did find the obituary odd, that it never mentioned flying, nor machining. Didn't he own an grass airstrip/hangers? I don't recall if he was ever actually into machining much, but he did have quite a few machines from what I remember.
                        I've been to his hangar. He did have a mountain of machinery and other stuff but I don't think he ever made many chips from what I could see.

                          He was retired from the hardware business due to a disability and had been retired for quite a few years when I last saw him and that was over 5 years ago.

                            I did find this: https://www.leaderpub.com/2009/08/28...ahamas-blazes/

                            He's our Flylo for sure. Last I recall he was fixing up an old ambulance and was planning to head to Arizona for the winter in it. I think he named it the "Rambulance" because it was built on a Dodge chassis.

                              After a divorce Evan set up shop in a trailer he was living in. Of course, it was a small shop. But his interests seemed to change from machining to the medical field where he got involved with designing/inventing some devices that were needed by some doctors of his acquaintance. That is about the last I heard of him. Perhaps he is now a millionaire.

                              We would discuss (argue) many subjects from different points of view, but it was all in good fun. I wish he were still posting here.
