In Shock

[Stee]

my best friend and gunsmith that I was driving 500 miles a week for cancer treatment, suddenly passed away. His brother came to town to settle estate, called me over. My friend left me a National Match Garand type 2 that was glass bedded and never fired. A true safe queen and a note from him saying to enjoy. Also left me Remington 700 223 bull barrel and a High Standard Trophy Citation 22. Would rather have my friend back, very humbled that he would remember me like that.

Sorry for your loss.

He sounds like a good man--with very good taste in firearms.

It's nice that you have something like that to remember him by.

I am sorry for your loss. May God watch over his soul for all time to come. May you find comfort in having had a friend who thought so much of you.

Pass it on

Sorry to hear, and for your loss.

But, me, I'd shoot a full clip out of that Garand every anniversary of his passing.
Maybe with head-stamped ammo from the year of his birth.

They can still hear the "Ping" in Heaven...

 

[ISOTOX]

Sorry for your lose...May your friend rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Cancer is a bitch.

It is pretty cool though, that you have great things to remember him by- every time you run those guns, it's an incredible tribute to his life and work.

What a way to remember a great friend, he really cared about you now you have a piece of him to always keep him in your thoughts.

So sick of the cancer takes, taking great people from us. Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for the loss of your friend. Thoughtful of him to leave you such things. I like enbloc's idea...

 

[Stee]

I do also, great advice

 

[Twigg]

My condolences for your loss. Guns don't just have history, they create memories. The guns left to you will remind you of better times. Enjoying them honors your friend.

Sorry for your loss, Remember the good times they live on forever.

Not a lot of people would have been there for their friends going through treatment in the same manner. I'm glad he's no longer in pain but it's a hard thing to lose a life to a horrible disease like Cancer. Sounds like you're both special; think of him whenever you enjoy the gun because he wanted you to have fun with it. Life is too short otherwise.

Heard a passage last week that fits this:

A person dies three times
-When their body no longer functions
-When their body is lowered into the ground
-The last time their name is spoken

Reflect and honor your friends name. Sorry for you loss.

Sorry and RIP

Just remember, when he said to enjoy the Garand, he wasn’t talking about just looking at it and holding it. He wants you to enjoy shooting it.

Sorry for your loss. Our loved ones live forever in our hearts until we join them.
