I just noticed a message at the yahoo site:
"...that John Folkerth passed away friday..."

Can anyone confirm this?

I too searched http://www.legacy.com/dayton/Obituaries.asp and found no conformation for the last 90 days. It is either an unsubstantiated rumor, or they are hiding it for some reason.

I sent a E-Mail to the one that posted it. Will see if I get a reply. Well let you know.

Are we making unsubstantiated assumptions that Mister Folkerth lives within the area that would be reported in the Dayton newspaper.

That, too, is a possibility, dusty.

David Folkerth is the brother of Bob Folkerth and son of John Folkerth. David did work at the Shopsmith factory. This explains why his name is being used with Email ( dwfshop@gmail.com ) and Ebay ID ( 19miskie61 ) as someone who has started selling many many new and used Shopsmith items on Ebay.

"David Folkerth is the brother of Bob Folkerth and son of John Folkerth"

I'm kinda having a difficult time on that one.. So is David the son of John Folkerth? who is Bob?
