    RE: Don / Terrapin99

    Hi Guys,
    I'm Don's brother and I wanted to thank you for your stories and kind words of condolence. We are all shocked by his loss and will miss him. I know he enjoyed his relationships with many of you.

    To settle his estate, we are gathering his transaction information so that we can determine the location and value of his assets.
    It appears he had various deals going on with several people. If you are one of them, please let me know so we can settle them.
    We can also see that some of Don's property (pinball machines) were 1) shipped and not paid for or 2) held by others pending a trade or 3) on loan.
    After we complete this step, we will determine the best way to sell his collection.

    Thank you for your help.

    Best regards,
    [email protected]

    Odin I think I met you and nimblepin that night your truck was backed in to Don's garage picking up Poker Face.

    Here are some pics inside the (mad)house that was Don's world. That's my STLE pictured to the right of the Elvis, which he ordered special with the LE #666.

    As you can clearly see, it was everything everywhere all the time and always changing. He had a huge stack of NAVL receipts in the garage for receiving and sending games. I remember after his cleaning lady would come (twice a week) and put everything away in the house, he wouldn't be able to find anything and get all pissed off. Pretty funny stuff...

    I didn't get the Poker Face, but I remember you. He sold it to somebody else. Can't remember what I did bring home that night.

    Who needs to go to Disneyland when we could go to Don's instead?

    RIP Don. I bought my TFLE from him several years ago.

    I guess Don won.
    As the old proverbial goes...
    One who dies with the most toys wins.

    I never met or dealt with Don, but I send my sincere condolences to all his family and friends. Reading through this thread, I could easily see he was a great guy that was beloved by many, and the planet needs way more people like that. So sad to see him passing so young. Rest in peace Don.

    I found the photos of the JM Whitewood I purchased from Don. It was a beauty!

    I have that Big Deal now, and we really enjoy it.
