We Remember

[QUOTE DONT FORGET MIKE WALKER AT 95.=Hunter;845981]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?)."

My mentor Jon Newman. I went to his memorial service and I remember it well, but I was waiting for the insurance to operate on my back and I was high as a kite most days and I do not recall the day he died. He last posted here 08/04 2013 as Octopus. He gave me a milling machine before he died, I used it the other day, wish he had it back and we could go shoot.
