THE OFFICIAL FRANCIS E. DEC TIMELINE

Drawing up a timeline of Mr. Dec’s life and times is somewhat difficult,
as quite little is known of the man. Still, I have decided to try. Below is an
attempt at chronologically organizing the events of Mr. Dec’s life as far as
they are known. Much of the information was originally extrapolated and
pieced together in a chronological fashion from Dec’s insane rantings by
yours truly. However, since then much new information has come to light,
thanks to dedicated Decologists Ted Torbich and Steve Dhuey; both ardent
researchers who should be forever lauded for their finds and efforts! New
information about Dec has also surfaced from Dec's legal correspondence,
which was also procured by Ted Torbich.

All important events in Dec's life that can be given an exact date are present below. Events men-
tioned by Dec in his writings but which cannot be precisely dated have their dates marked with a
question mark and should be considered educated guesses. I feel this timeline paints quite an inter-
esting picture of Dec as a person. I would like to extend my warmest thanks to Decologists Donna
Kossy, Forrest Jackson, Ted Torbich, genealogist Steven Dhuey and NY lawyer Jeff Sperber with-
out whose previous hard work much of this timeline would not have existed. If anyone reading this
should happen to have ANY additional info on the life and times of Mr. Francis E. Dec, Esquire,
please send it to me and I’ll add it here ASAP. Proper credits will naturally be given!
