I hope they're wrong, but I was sniffing around again today and came across this. Here's a screenshot from the website Spokeo. If the info is accurate, it's a sad day for Pelican Forums.

I sincerely hope he’s ok but the bottom line is that he wasn’t posting here because he didn’t want to.

Nothing on his FB since his Dec 14 posts, and he was made aware of this thread.

Tabs - if you are reading this, I hope you are well.

I just did a search using some assets that I use and was hoping not to come up with the above, but no luck either way. Just called the number that I always use for Tabdula the Great (ending in 5215) and its been disconnected. I also checked the Obits in the Las Vegas area and no luck there so who knows.

Sure hope we have not lost him!

The age is correct. I remember years back, he stated his age. I wouldn't remember it except for the fact it was the same as mine at the time.

I remember this photo...let's always remember Tabs as the guy at the party with the lampshade on his head. He'd like that...

Probably picked up by the Feds and in a black site.

In all seriousness, i hope he’s okay. We discussed lugers last year and it was very informative.

Tabs is gone man, just accept it. We don't get to pick our time nor are we necessarily given the chance to say goodbye. This is a ****ty reminder to all of us that life is finite.

I didn't always get along with him and maybe said some hurtful stuff to him but I shall crack a beer in his honor and ask forgiveness when i get home.

I went ahead and coughed up the $$ for the search of the deceased Theodore Bryla from spokeo.
The number listed ended in 5215.
The Las Vegas house was purchased in 2003 according to the search.

i hope he died happier than his posts would seem to indicate. always struck me as the definition of could have just decided to be happy and live out his life, but decided to get mad every day instead.

Not so fast - Spokeo lists him dying in August 1988



There is another listing that is not deceased. And another deceased with middle initial "N". That is also shown deceased in August 1988.

Not saying he hasn't passed, by SPOKEO is not exactly the best for these things.
