I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm very sorry to hear that. His vision for creating this place was well ahead of its time.  He has given me and countless others a place to laugh, cry, be annoyed and most importantly, a sense of community with others.

Thank you, Ed. God speed.

Rest in Peace Ed.

Ive always loved the AR15 having grown up on my late father's SP1.

I came across this site back in early 2005 when I was in college and never left.

Lots of good have come from the site along with the ability to feed by hobby wheeling and dealing on EE.

Thanks for the initiative to create a platform and evolve it over the years.

So sorry to hear Juan. I saw his post in Team a few months ago and hoped this day would never come.

So sad.
