People are still talking about Erik or Jon-Erik Beckjord, because, after all, he was a bit mysterious about his personal life, despite his invasion of the privacy of so many others.

The Bigfoot Times editor Daniel Perez has passed this interesting update along today: “”EB” as he is widely known, was born Cedric Jon Beckjord on April 26, 1939 and died June 22, 2008. To the best of my knowledge, no Bigfooter knew his exact birthdate. Also learned: he was married to Joanna Elizabeth Cole from England from 1965 to 1967.”

The San Francisco Chronicle’s obit lists his birth year as 1939, and Wikipedia does give his birthdate as April 26, 1939.
