I'm sure you heard a lot from him in prepping threads, 1911 and AR15 discussions, bourbon discussions, and COVID madness. OF was definitely not a 13er. He was really into the Walking Dead and ended up writing 2 zombie books called Slow Burn. He posted book progress on this site as he wrote it and welcomed feedback and suggestions. I'm not sure if he ever said it here but he was a highly respected police Sergeant. One of the nicest people you would ever meet and always went out of his way to help others. A person of high integrity and a great friend. He got numerous co workers started with basic prepping and built numerous AR15s for others. He also loved shooting and taught classes helping others get their CCL. Tragically he suddenly passed in a motor vehicle accident on Friday afternoon, leaving behind a wife, young son and two stepdaughters. I would post his Avatar but I'm having trouble finding it using search. I know he enjoyed this site and would want people he frequently conversed with here to know. ETA avatar. Striker http://www.ar15.com/media/images/xAvatar/113283.jpg Wow. I read the Slow Burn books. Really well written. |
I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

Now we might have one once a year, if that. Sorry to hear about Old_Fashioned's passing. I wish that was the case around here, it seems like we have one at least monthly. I guess it has to do with our speed limits being 60mph on most of the roads, and the amount of animals jumping in front of cars constantly. RIP Old_Fashiond's you shall be missed; he was one heck of a nice guy. I'll say a prayer for his family. OP, if you know his family ask them if they need help, I'm sure many of us would be willing to help out. Godspeed brother. |
