Was just looking at his profile and got hit right between the eyes and got a lump in my throat ... His status is "offline"

Gunman, you are missed.

Damn, this is hard to write . .

God, please watch over him for all of us, until you call each of us home.

If this appears twice, forgive, I posted and it did not show the first time, or after refreshing.

ANOTHER SHOOTER HAS LEFT THE RANGE

Gman1911, was the best sort and made good, honest posts, and was great to converse with.

He messaged me back on 09/05/08 about a basket case model 700 he was trying to help a neighbor out with, ( no big surprise, considering his nature ) I tried to help, and never got a response, Now I know why.

My sympathies and prayers to the family, too young and He will be missed, I'm both happy and sad, that one of us, at least said,
" anyone heard from Gunman1911?" that shows how good this Forum is. Happy for the question, Sad for the answer.

As we say here in Texas, the 1911 is God's gun. I'm sure he will share with Gunman.

Gunman1911, please say Hi, to Uncle Jeff, Bill Jordan, Skeeter Skelton, Jim Clark Sr., Teddy Roosevelt and all the Hard Holders up there for us.

Rest in peace.

DRTV Rangers, how about a new Ranger Emeritus?
