From Flip's newphew:

Flip passed away peacefully in his sleep on February 7th. He had just turned 90 years old.

February 1936 - February 2026

He always used to say " I'm going to keep on living right up until the day I die." And that's exactly what he did.

Flip was very fond of this forum. He had a few notes at his nightstand. Please ask the admins to delete his account, farewell everyone........WITNESS ME!

Flip generously left his Jeep to me. He had very good things to say about this forum. I would like to join myself some day.

One of the best. Loved a good joke and shenanigans but was willing to speak up when things got out of hand. We would DM quite a bit. Now his last message to me seems appropriate and ironic.

“Yep, I knew that thread was going to get locked. Well, it was fun while it lasted. 😁

We are diminished. RIP Brother.

Tredsdert just texted me to say he is in contact with Flips nephew George and confirmed the news and that the post was likely from his nephew. I know those two texted almost every day,

Yes, his nephew PM’d me again after I posted the sad news and said he figured it out. …
Hey George, you haven’t joined yet ? You are now at least a Jeeper in training. ….
Hey Flip,, So Long Pal ! :please:
