I see that today is Kokopup's birthday. Has anyone heard from him or know how he's doing? It's been over 2 years since he last posted here, and if I recall correctly, I believe he said that he was showing signs of Alzheimer's or dementia.

I haven't heard from him, I'll email him.
Oh dear...I hope he's ok.
If I haven't heard from him by Monday's I'll try calling him, if I can find a phone numbers for him that works.
I hope he's OK!
If you see this.... Happy Birthday, Kokopup! :)
I called this evening and left a message on an answering that may belong to him ... the phone number matched the address I have for him, we'll see if anyone returns my call. I'll try tomorrow during the day, and ask for his wife by name(I know that), just in case.
Thanks Karen. I hope someone gets back to you.
He was a tremendous help to me with computer issues. I can't believe it's been over 2 years since he's been here.
I wrote to him a few times, but he wouldn't respond. Such a shame. He had a busy life and an active mind, which usually prevents or slows the process down. I do hope he is well.Quote:

I have another couple of ideas to explore if Karen doesn't make any contact by phone with him or his wife. I'd like to think the best, but I almost expect the worst. :(
pom, if you know his full name, you might try a Google search with his name and name of the place he lived.
I am hoping for the best. :love:

I also have his full name and the state he lives in, but like Karen said, it's almost as common as Smith or Jones. :p I had the city too at one time, so I'll do some back tracking to see if I can locate that. That would narrow things down drastically. Hoping that Karen gets some results with the phone messages.Quote:

I hope to be able to actually speak to her tomorrow, we missed each other with the actual calls. She thanked us for remembering his birthday.
I was afraid that it would be bad news. That's a shame - Bill was a good man and we became good friends after a rough start.Quote:

Rest in peace, Bill. :love: You are and will be very missed on Pet Talk. :(
How terrible. :( Rest in Peace..I always liked his post. He was very informative and smart on tons of subjects, and he was always really kind.
I am so sorry to hear this. He was such a nice fellow.Quote:

RIP Bill. :(
Saw this news on FB, and came back to this thread.
RIP Bill, you are missed.
Must have been a scene at Rainbow Bridge that day, lol. Lots of PT pets knew of Bill.
This is very sad. I remember him well. RIP, Bill.
