Condolences to his family. Sorry if this is a dupe.

 

[JayD]

Wow I was just down there the other day buying a bore snake. Condolences all around.

 

[Jamie]

I guess I feel bad for the family. Never was a big fan of the establishment.

 

[JayD]

I bought a .22 from them for a really good price, other than that everything was a bit too much for my taste. That being said, if I needed some cleaning supplies id drop by just for the convenience factor.

Rest in Peace

Rest in Peace John . You will be missed.

He was a character, but he was one of OUR characters.

Rest in Peace, John.

I agree he was a character. I always got along OK at the Gun Room, although it's been many years. I think the last thing I bought there was a Marlin 30-30, about 15 years ago. RIP.

I once spent the better part of an afternoon talking with John about a black power revolver that I have. He was very knowledgeable about the history of them and I found him to be a very interesting. I miss you John.

I wonder what will become of the place.

 

[Knob Creek]

I wonder what will become of the place.

Just a guess, but I believe Peter Dowd will be called in to clean out the place.

Please, God. No.

 

[kurtb]

Jeez - he was only 64. What did he die from I wonder?

 

[CRSIII]

kurt, I'll go out on a limb here and guess complications due to diabetes.

Another dreaded disease that could be cured, but there's to much money to be made treating it.

That sucks - my sister just got diagnosed with it. She's 44 and doesnt have an ounce of fat on her.
