Ah, now I found a little story written about it back in May 2013. Sadly, I just missed getting him. Rats.

Oh, wow, really? I didn't get that message at all. I mailed it to the Enclave Parkway address and it just was simply returned to me as if he had moved. And maybe he did move. Maybe he moved in with a family member at the Westerland address because of his eye sight.

Wow, I'm surprised you got this back. About a month or 2 ago, his family was responding back saying he was done signing due to his eye sight.

Thank you for posting this. On Sep 17, 2013, I sent a card to Monte Irvin, but it was sent back to me Return To Sender and Attempted - Not Known.
I'm guessing that he moved to the Westerland Dr address.
