    Robert, I never really know what to say to a person when they have a loss, and I really don't in this situation. My sympathies to you.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Robert, I just read this and words cannot express the shock and sorrow. I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

    God Bless

    Bob-

    As I've mentioned in our phone conversations this week you and your family are in our prayers. My wife sends her deepest sympathy; and wanted me to tell you that if you and your wife need anything just call us.

    Dan is, of course, in our prayers also. Remember to stay close with the Lord and seek his comfort during this time.

    Take care of yourself and God Bless You and your family.

    Robert so sorry to hear that, our prayers are with you and your wife.

    My wife and I have had more suicide scares with our daughter than I care to mention. I almost feel your pain, to say I did would make me a hypocrite.

    I pray for you brother. I've been thru this twice with a 13yr old son and 3yr old grandson. My wife showed me a passage in the Bible that says "God does not take children from their parents but he surely does provide a place in heaven for them." I'm truely sorry to here of your loss, the Lord will help you.

    After losing my dad last Saturday, my best friend as well I know he is in a better place. Surely your son is too. My sincere condolances to you, your wife, and family.

    My prayers for you and your family Robert.
    When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.

    Final services were this a.m. A full uniformed Marine detail conducted the graveside service. A 21 gun salute was fired by the V.F.W. honor team. The marine E - 5 that presented the flag to me resembled my son, at least in my old eyes, that I called him "son". My son made E - 5 Sargent during his service time. There are over 50 notations on his facebook page from other Marines that served with him in different postings around the world. I want to thank all the site readers for their comments, PM`s, phone calls and all the wishes of a great group of people. Thank You.Robert
