Just a week today Tac and I traded smileys over a joke I made about Lucas electrical products. He's one of fewer than a dozen members here, who I tracked for their wisdom. JALLEN was another. My condolences to his family, and to all the other SigForum members who feel this loss as much as I do. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

Tac was a gem. He gave my wife and I invaluable advice when our daughter went off to England for grad school. A warrior poet and gentleman. I'm sorry our paths never connected IRL. Rest well Tac. __________________________ Writing the next chapter that I've been looking forward to. | |||

Terribly saddened to check in to SF and immediately read this news. He had a life wisdom, perspective and way of comporting himself on this forum that had me looking up to him. I truly wish I could have met him at some point. Fair winds and following seas, sir. | |||

Crap! Totally unexpected and a real blow to this forum. Seemed like a wonderful man. When we visited the UK and Ireland he offered to meet; just wasn’t in the cards. Now I regret it deeply. I’ll miss him. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

| Do---or do not. There is no try. |
Really sorry to hear this---he always had interesting insights, be they about firearms or life. Godspeed, Sir. | |||

His perspective from being across the pond was a welcome contribution. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

I am very sorry to hear this, I read a lot of his posts, he was a good dude. "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead."

Very sad news indeed. I always enjoyed his posts and his point of view. I'll miss you my imaginary friend...

I echo the sentiments here. Always a thoughtful poster whose observations were valued. My prayers to his widow, family and friends. Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

Damn sorry to hear, like others have said it was always good to see his point of view as a prominent member outside the states. As a younger member this is just another weird reminder to appreciate the posts from people here. If I live a decent, healthy life I’ll be here after many. I’ve never personally met anyone from here yet, but I do feel a connection to many here. ...Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, was just a freight train coming your way... | |||

Very sad to hear this. His posts were thoughtful and well written. I liked to hear what he had to say. Certainly seemed like a good guy. And I am shocked. My impression was that he was a relatively young man. | |||

Tac and I shared the love of birds. He will be missed. Fly into the sunset, may Crow guide you home. Good night raggedy old crow. From his short story he sent me. - My parting message was not what you might call, well, inspired or poetic. Well, not the sort of poetry that sticks in the mind, but felt with every bit of my heart and soul, and certainly not what you would expect from a person like me. ‘Love from Crow x’, I wrote, building the words carefully, piece by tiny piece. No ‘Mister’, even though she had always called me that, in her kindly way. Well, I AM a crow, after all. Just a raggedy old black crow…  He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

| Husband, Father, Aggie, all around good guy!  |
God send your grace to his family here on earth, welcome our brother to heaven with you and all the Angels. Thank you for the blessings he brought to this forum. Comfort his family. Amen. | |||

Oh no! I'm so sorry. I got email notifications when he would post I loved reading what he post. I loved hearing about his days in the military and about the British Empire. I would love to see picture of him and his obituary. My prayers to his family _______________________________________________________ And no, junior not being able to hold still for 5 seconds is not a disability. | |||
