    I just saw this too. AZ-JIm , I also enjoyed your Dads posts here. I can say I know how you feel. I lost my Dad 3 years ago, also real unexpectedly. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

    My condolences also Jim. Your dad was part of what makes this forum so great. He will be missed.

    Jim,

    I just learned of your father's passing here at work at Intel. I don't check this forum very often.

    My condolences to you and your family. I had the pleasure of meeting your parents and a few others at breakfast a couple years back during a failed WW group buy.

    Just found out. Dam shame, a good guy has left us. May he rest in peace and meet us who follow at the range. A donation to Boolits in his honor does seem appropriate and Wounded Warriors too. I'm in. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

    Just got back on line today and saw this. Very sad indeed. Met your dad last year at NCBS and it came as a shock to read this. Jane and I will miss his presence at NCBS this year.

    I haven't been on much recently and I just now saw this.
    Jim, when I read the subject line of your post I felt like I had just been sucker punched.
    I enjoyed meeting your Father at NCBS last year and was really hoping to see him again this year.
    Words can't express how badly I feel for you and your family right now.
    My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

    With regards to gun control in this country, everyone should be asking themselves one question:
    What is it that this government feels they need to do, but can't do, unless the citizens of this nation are first disarmed?
    (I seriously doubt you can come up with any plausible answers that you will like...)

    I feel like I just got punched in the gut. . .

    This isn't an area of the site that I check very often, but your Dad was a true man, friend, patriot and example to all of the absolute highest caliber.

    Stew. . . Godspeed to you, Chief.

    I only met Glenn once in person, but he seemed like a heck of a guy. I am sad to hear that he has passed. Please add my condolences to the list.

    Jim,
    I haven't been in here much lately since about the last time we PM'ed when you told me of your Dad's passing. It is just now I put 2 and 2 together that AZ-Stew was your Dad.

    I met your Dad at his home about a year or so ago when I won a benefit auction he had put up. I mentioned to him about watching him build his shop some years ago as I drove by it everyday to work. We talked a bit about the "HAM" bidness and man, you could tell that was something he loved. He invited me to come over anytime as I live not that far.

    Just a genuinely nice guy your Dad was Jim, you are blessed to have had him as your father. We were fortunate to have had him as AZ-Stew.

    God be with you and yours brother.

    DaveD
