Trygve Strand Obit


Trygve A. Strand, age 67, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2015, at his home in DeForest. He was born on Dec. 10, 1947, in Madison, the son of Trygve and Virginia (Quigley) Strand.

I guess we're both East High graduates.  Who owns the Ammo Box now?

Your link is fubar'd, but google works well enough.

"died unexpectedly...at home".  Usually when I see that my mind immediately fills in the blank with "of unnatural, self-inflicted causes", but he was 67 so who knows.

I dunno.

 

I went there once a year to buy ammo.  Did get a few guns over the years.  Had other people working there most of the time.

I'm shocked at how young he was.  Looked like a dying old man to me.  Assumed to be 70+ last time I saw him.  

The place is tiny, but always found something cool there.  The right kind of ammo, as would be expected of a place called the "Ammo box".

Wonder if they still stock all the odd ball ammo.  Gander completely sucks.  Not that I would pay their prices............

Hope this one works better.  67 is young these days.  Wonder if he was a smoker?  Nice dog, never saw the cats.

I live in sun prairie.   Ive been to the ammo box a handful of times too.  From what I remember, some other threads had posted he had health issues in the past, iirc.
That's too bad he passed.  He wasn't a bad guy imo.  Kinda standoffish, but maybe I would be too with some of the clientele he got.  He was lot warmer once he knew you were actually going to buy something.

RIP Trygve.

Damn, I just drove past there yesterday.

Only been to his place twice, and that was when it was near east town in madison. Back in the 80's when surplus imports were allowed again, IIRC, and got him to order a swedish mauser.
