With so many of our benchrest friends and acquaintances having "left the range," I thought it would be nice to have a somewhat comprehensive list of them. Feel free to post name(s), year(s) of death, and age at death of your benchrest friends and acquaintances who have "left the range"; I'll add them to a "master" list below -- that way there will be one "comprehensive" list.

I think the list below reflects all the above additions (as corrected). Can any of you provide the year of death and/or age at death (or enough info so I can find an obit) for those that do not show those details? Also, feel free to correct (or confirm) the spelling of those names below followed by "(sp?)."

As I recall Dave travelled with Buddy Ross. Dave had a drywalling company. The drywalling is what ultimate did Dave in with lung cancer. That’s not to say he didn’t also get together with Snuffy.
