I'll miss you Grumpa.
Prayers for his wife.

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.

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!
Dang it, thats a real bummer. I really enjoyed his posts and have had one of his quoted in my signature for some time. Godspeed buddy..
