I’m familiar with many of his posts. Was he an older gentleman?

This completely catches me off guard! Was this a sudden event?

Grumpa has been called home?
He was a fine old gentleman. I liked him very much. He contributed much to this forum. Had necking 32-20 down to 25-20 or 218 BEE down to a science.
I'll miss you Grumpa.
Prayers for his wife.

My Condolences to his Family.
I really enjoyed his posts, he had a GREAT DEAL OF INSIGHT into our pastime.
May his Alloy always be pure and his pours drop clean.
And may his groups always be small & round.

A good member has left the range.
Grumpa - Hope to meet you on the other side. It was nothing but a pleasure on this side. Every time i pull the trigger on one of your 25-20 cases - I will think of you and yours.
Being human is not for sissies.
He will be missed

Sorry to hear this. We "PM'd" just a few weeks ago. All my trust in the Lord. R.I.P.
RIP Grumpa
I will think of you everytime I squeeze the trigger on my 222 with the fine LC brass you formed.
His 32 Remington brass he made for us from 38-55 is still going strong and operate’s flawlessly in an old 141 pump . He will be missed and I will always remember him fondly!
