We Remember

[steve stanley]

I was talking to some guys at the range yesterday about this post and all the people that we shot with that have passed on and it brought another one to mind. Gilbert Riggins 89, DOD 1-23-2021 Gilbert was a good shooter, but he was a great guy. He would do anything to help a fellow shooter, I know he helped me a lot. Gilbert was a multi-talented guy, he could do anything. The world was a better place with Gilbert in it, he is missed.

George, regarding post # 38, I got in touch with a family member and was told Ruth is still alive, and in good health.

With so many of our benchrest friends and acquaintances having "left the range," I thought it would be nice to have a somewhat comprehensive list of them. Feel free to post name(s), year(s) of death, and age at death of your benchrest friends and acquaintances who have "left the range"; I'll add them to a "master" list below -- that way there will be one "comprehensive" list.

I think the list below reflects all the above additions (as corrected). Can any of you provide the year of death and/or age at death (or enough info so I can find an obit) for those that do not show those details? Also, feel free to correct (or confirm) the spelling of those names below followed by "(sp?)."
