Anyone heard from gunman1911?

[Hazcat]

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.

Rest in Peace Gunman.  Michigan is a sadder place with out you.

This is the saddest news I've heard in a long time. He was my brothers age give or take a year. That's just too young to be taken away from us. I was with my dad when he died in the same hospital in Petoskey. Maybe that's why this is hitting me so hard. I just wish I could have gotten to know Gunman better while he was with us. Requiescat In Pace

Aye.

M'ette,

As long as Haz is giving orders, could you look into starting a Memorial section?  A place we can post people like gunman1911.  I'm thinking of a place that would act like "headstones" that we could visit to remember those that will go on before us.

I think a memorial section is a great idea.  I had actually been thinking of suggesting this before I heard the sad news.  If a Memorial section is started I think it would be nice to post the obituary of the member  permantly  in the thread as if it is just a link, the links sometimes don't work or become inactive.  Any respnose from the members family would be nice as would the members profile as was done for Gunman and a link to their post.  A guestbook such as this thread where others can post their thoughts should be included.

At my gun club we have a plague of fame, people alive or dead that did something significant and have their names inscribed therein, an electronic/digital version of this would be quite nice here. 

Simply, in remembrance or in appreciation of.

Wow I was not expecting this. I got an email from Haz to check out the update on this thread, and I gotta say I am a little choked up. As it has been stated before even though I never met him I feel like I knew him. Just like many of you on this forum.

He complimented me on my service and replied to my posts with respect and honesty for that I am grateful to him.
