I am not 100% sure of the 2 on the ends, if anyone can help me, please do.



Yes that's me

Sad to hear of John's passing. RIP brother.

I'll say a prayer for him and his family.

Boys, if they can sue Marlboro for cancer and Micky D's cause they got fat, can I sue Miller Brewing for all the ugly chicks I slept with?

One thing I remember was how he would reference his own fight with cancer usually only to encourage others.

Pretty damn impressive.  He knew his odds weren't good and didn't let it get to him; rather he shared his strength and positive spirit.  That's an example to which we
should all adhere to in our turn.


I remember this as well. I was always amazed at his inner strength and the encouragement he gave in his posts. He will be sorely missed. My prayers to him and his loved ones.
May he rest in peace.

Godspeed John, I'll drink a Duval in your honor.
I'm not one of you, Skippy. Nor am I one of them. I'm just a casual observer, the effete snob upon the hill with the fine wine and the opera glasses, gazing down upon your little battlefield and looking alternately aghast and bemused.

John / eodtech was a huge Red Wings fan.  I swear he comes to mind everytime I watch a game and the Wings are kicking ass.  I always wonder what he'd think about our new goalie or the up-and-comer rookies taking the ice for their first season.

The image is John and his lovely wife.

Dear Lord.
 
Two years and I just now notice this thread.  

Yes, I remember him.  I truly hate to hear this, prayers for his family.

Thanks for the photo boss. Hard to believe it has been this long.

FWIW, creating the Memorial forum is one of the best things Arfcom has ever done.

Wow, i can't believe it's been two years, I was wondering why this thread showed up on my subscribed list.  He was one of the good guys.  I enjoyed all his posts.

I was just talking about him to my father.  He and I are both veterans.  We were talking about who in our lives has impressed us and John immediately came to mind.

Here is John shooting one of my Garands at the Hun Farm shoot you mentioned in the OP:



He rode with me on that trip and helped me lug around that heavy ass AR50.  I had just gotten it and he helped me do the break-in procedure outlined by ArmaLite in the owners manual and zeroing the scope in the process.

Very unselfish guy.

It's hard to believe it's been 5 years.
If it's a Colt, it's a copy of an original ArmaLite.

I am not LARRYG36.

Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

If your AR10 is marked Geneseo, IL, it's still an AR10 no matter what some people say.
