    Passing of fellow CastBoolits member Garcia

    With a heavy heart, I am making my first post here to let everyone know my father and fellow castboolits member known as Garcia, passed at the young age of 57 on May 22 in his sleep. He has taught me all I know about the great outdoors, hunting, fishing, relaoding and life in general. Unfortunately with a busy schedule I haven't been able to learn the art of casting, although I will learn to cast from a good friend of his, Ralph as well as you all here. Thank you in advance.

    I was urged by a fellow member here whom I spoke to via email to let everyone know here of his passing. He will be missed.

    I love you Dad.

    osteodoc08, Would a family member have logged on to this forum after your father's passing?

    Checking his member ID shows that "Garcia" last logged on here on 5/29/13 at 7:10am.

    Yes, in Newnan, your father recently bought one of my molds. I enjoyed working a deal with him on the mold, he was quite the character.
    Again I am sorry he has passed.

    Sounds like you lost a father and friend, so sorry. Will pray for you and family members.

    Most likely my mother scrolling around his computer trying to make sure all his loose ends are getting tied up.

    Thanks again to everyone and their outpouring of support.

    Correct on all accounts!

    Which mold in particular was it out of curiosity. He has several.

    He had just received a 9mm mold from Slovenia and had cast and lubed a few hundred of them for me the day of his passing. He was so proud of them

    Sounds like you have great memories of your Dad. Cherish them and pass those memories on to your own children. Those 9mm boolits now have great value as memory keys.

    My very sincere condolences.

    It's never easy loosing any of your parents. There are so many things I wish I could still ask them and show them. Take solace in knowing that they are still alive on the other side of the veil, they watch over you, and your family will be together again someday (forever).

    Losing either of your parents is a hard one. In my case I think losing my dad was a little harder for me. It was 1996 and I still miss him. You are in our prayers for peace during this time. Sounds like you have some good memories of your dad and they will carry you a long way in the coming years.
