So What Really Happened To TTUEE2006/Tristar

[huskyvacs]

Wow, Spiritof76 died? I remember he caused a big mess on the site for years, always starting fights until they banned him a couple years ago. Crazy what happens.

If anyone knows his full name and where he lived, just google those on their own and look for an obituary or add "obituary" to the search string. Maybe if he did die the obituary would pop up.

I don't know about spiritof76.

Wildly inaccurate!

I will spare everyone every detail, but no… As far as is known to the world, Eric is doing well, keeping to himself and staying busy running the family business.

I'm glad Eric is still alive and well. He could've returned to Youtube, just take his videos in a different direction.

Wow

This went from wondering what happened to an older collector to he was negative to he had passed away.
I encountered spirit of 76. I do know he had been banned under other usernames. I don't know the other usernames but I do know after his spirit of 76 account was banned he had another user name he used. My condolences on the spirit of 76 member. If he is alive I wish him well.
People mention you have to work on vacuums to have an opinion on them. Alot of people don't like sharks yet a very high majority of them have never worked on let alone repaired one. I'm thinking to myself I have never owned ot worked on electrolu vacuum but dislike them. Pot meet kettle.

 

[wstonehocker96]

I have to agree with you guys.

Jae did previously register here as "1926700."

On his last account here, "TheSpiritof76," in 2018 he insulted me (even though I had him on my hidden members list) for replying to an eBay auction of an NIB Eureka Mighty Mite canister. It was the final straw for me and him after he sent me e-mails threatening to call the FBI out on me, none of which I ever responded to. I let the site admin know of this, and he was promptly banned from the site, but I remained terrified of him for a while even then.

That sounds very messed up.

That was a long time ago. I believe there was some drama between him and some of the VCCC board members back when they were running Vacuumland. Some parody Youtube videos were made. I believe. I could be wrong. I did enjoy reading his posts and watching his YouTube videos back in 2009. Yes, Jason and Eric are not the same person. Very different people and different states.

 

[wstonehocker96]

Eric left Youtube because he told me I was stalking him on Flickr. I was 12 years old when this all happened, and I know, I was mentally ill back then. So apparently, I was not held responsible.

 

[kirbyclassiciii]

What I still want to know is whether or not the news about Eric having passed away is confirmed. If he did pass away, when?

[wstonehocker96]

I'm surprised kirbyclassiciii tried to respond.

After I saw that someone else gave us the real answer on Eric's whereabouts, I retracted my last reply because of that.

[wstonehocker96]

That's okay. If anyone still talks to him, what are the odds of him uploading his videos onto Vimeo?

 

[wstonehockertv]

IDK about the rest of you guys, but I suspect Eric Herbert was not a fan of me. I was 12 years old when he left the internet in 2009. He didn't like the fact that I was a young and mentally unstable child taken by a long-distance ex-girlfriend from summer camp that didn't work out.
