He was DF'd some time back but was reinstated. He had been attending a congregation in his area, going in field service, giving talks, etc. His health was not the best towards the end.
At least one poster on here was in his circuit and another had an aunt in his congregation that confirmed this on the other 2 threads on Mickey Spillane.

I met him sometime in the seventies. He went to the same District Conventions that I went to for a few years. One year we both worked in foodservice together.He was a lot like his books...tough, but there was a gentleness there that wasn't apparent right away. I got the impression that he tired of being recognized as Mickey Spillane the writer and just wanted to be known as Brother Spillane.

Maybe that's why he was so easily recruited into the jw cult.... his foundation was shaky to begin with.
