RIP Junior. I will really miss you.
RIP Junior. I will really miss you.
I agree (and I think that Junior would too...)
It might behoove the 'powers that be' on this forum to contact Junior's family about this... and perhaps put "The Frugal Outdoorsman" archives under the umbrella of this forum.
(Haven't they already done this with the Hensley & Gibbs website?)
God bless you, Junior... you will most definitely be missed.
I don't visit here as much as I used to... and to read of this just plain saddens me. Jr. was one of the good guys. He will be missed, his knowledge and info is still pertinent and important.

I didn't know about it either as I didn't recognize the name and connect it with his login. Was in the middle of testing his bullets and loads for him in the 7.62x39. I will finish the test and post the results. So far he had a couple pretty good loads for the close range hog shooting he wanted to do with his SKS. R.I.P. Junior.

Wow this is quite a shocker, I have been away and out of contact. Junior was an amazing fellow and I considered him my friend in spite of our differences. Love his Frugal Outdoorsman website, and I made a few purchases of his unique products my favorite being his saddle-ring trapper sling which will have extra special meaning now. He invited me to fish and hunt on his homestead and I wish my finances allowed such a trip, it would have been unforgetable. Rest in peace my friend, aloha a hui hou.
Sad to hear of him passing. He seemed to be the voice of reason in most discussions here.
Life's hard, even harder if your stupid.
I just read of his passing. He will be missed here. I will cast some boolits with the mould I got from him a few yrears ago and use them on deer this season.
Cast Boolits has lost another valuable member of the family. I too differed in my political views from those of Junior, but he always stuck to his guns and supported his opinions with rational thought. His contributions to casting, reloading, shooting will be missed.
You won't be forgotten Junior

I am just now finding this thread.
I, like many others didn't agree with Juniors politics. Usually, if you don't agree with another mans politcs but share many other things in common then it's best to just not discuss it. In the end, both parties wind up losing.
That being said, Junior was a good one for sure. He was always willing to pitch in and help a person through whatever issue they had. I learned a few things from the man and I'm grateful for his experience and sharing.
Rest in peace Junior.

You were a type of man that's growing ever more rare - a "redneck" good old boy with an education, a curious and active mind, wide-ranging knowledge and calm self confidence. I learned much from you. You were a consistent example of a proper gentleman's behavior on this board, and I suspect in all aspects of life.

Where you are now I pray there be good companions, cold beer, and great live music - and may all the automobiles vibrate at highway speeds because the roads are lined with lost wheel weights.

Well,Junior and I did not agree on politics but he was a true Gentleman and outdoorsman. I bought some stuff from his online store and pm'ed a few times. Condolences to his family, Cast Boolits has lost another good one. Seems many of us are getting up there in age, never know when one's number is up. RIP Junior.

RIP Junior, I never met Junior but kept a constant watch on his websight because his writings always made me smile. Always ment to contact him and tell him so, my loss , I think we would have gotten along in a fine way. Hope the beer is cold and the music pure.
SAD RIP JUNIOR, UNTIL next time my friend

Looking for a Hensly &Gibbs #258 any thing from a two cavity to a 10cavityI found a new one from a member here
Awe damn... just read this. What a great guy. I will miss him. Rest in peace JR.
I loved his projects. I don't know if anyone ever told him 'you can't do that.' If they did, he didn't listen, just went ahead and did it.
Thanks for some great ideas, Junior.
Warning: I know Judo. If you force me to prove it I'll shoot you.
Well, I missed this until today. Jr lived not far from me. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.
If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.

I'm saddened by the news of his passing. I've only just learned of it. Rest In Peace, Junior. You will be missed.
