There seems to be only one picture of him on the internet from the last decades), Octavio Gaona Jr. (someone who claims to be his grandson is on facebook), Keita Meretana (Alive? Has had a wikipedia page since 2008), Guillotine Gordon, Paul Diamond (didn't look so bad in the 1990s, however, it's been a while), Yukiko Tomoe, Larry Pitchford/Beauregarde, Black Gordman, Edouard Etifier, Raúl Reyes, Big Bill Verna/Verne, Kathy Starr, Fred Peloquin, Tommy Seigler, Paul LeDuc (not to be confused with the film director), Bette Boucher.
