Sad news regarding Derron Johns (Dog789 / Eggbert)
« on: February 27, 2018, 02:00:22 PM »
I just found out a little while ago that Derron passed away last week at his home, he was having complications from the Flu. 

I'm at a total loss with this one, he lived 5 minutes from my house and I used to go over there all the time to play pinball.  Just in total shock.

Very sorry to hear the bad news.  My father-in-law is in the ER right now being tested.  We've had a nasty flu season.
