This is the first I've heard of it. He was only 62. One of the best exhibition shooters out there. He will be missed.

I should have looked better before I posted, but I was skimming before I left for work. I put Tom Knapp in the search function, but nothing came up. Anyway, I'm going to miss that guy. I liked his personality as much as his shooting skill. He was certainly one of the best, and brought back exhibition shooting even better than it was in the 50's.

They waited to release the obituary and press info for a good while after he died........ there were no links to post on the actual day he passed away when I listed it in the Left the Range Board.

Keep and eye on O'Halloran-Murphey's website on the other thread.  When I talked to Barb and Lincoln they said the family will be doing something, and there will be an obituary, but it will be a few weeks (that was Tuesday, April 30th).
