RIP Diablo (Mike Le Méchant)

@Connies_Hobby mentioned in our thread about @TheRetroNerd that @Diablo passed away about a year and a half ago!

I remember Mike. I haven't been to pin trading events in a while, but he sold me a DSSH set for a good price that I ended up letting go in one of my games here on DPF.

RIP Mike.

We haven't seen him here on DPF in years...about the time people started getting more active on other forms of social media.

He looks familiar. Thinking we might have traded once or twice.

RIP Mike

I remember him from my Early Pin Trading days.

He had a good soul.

RIP, Mike.

This is sad. While I can't remember specific interactions, I do know that his Username used to be quite familiar around here.

Oh my goodness, I've traded with him many times at events! He was always so kind, and he had a great laugh. I'm so sorry to hear this.

It's so sad. He sounded like a nice guy. Life is too short.

He came to the @docfish2u pin events in Anaheim

 

[starry_solo]

I really enjoyed it when he spoke French to the international pin traders

Rest easy Mike

Oh wow, I got him into WDI a couple times. Nice guy.

I was going through the pins I haven't catalogued yet and found the last pin I traded with Mike at the @docfish2u pin party in the Anaheim area, years ago.

I traded him this Wreck-it Ralph Duncan (donut) PTD:

And got this Wreck-it Ralph Wynchel (donut) PTD:

it was the last trade of the day and I think he felt sorry for me I was trying hard to trade for Wynchel at various pin events and asked him why it was so difficult to trade a donut PTD for a donut PTD from the same movie. He mentioned that the LE size was different! I didn't realize that until he mentioned it (my LE500 or his LE400).
