Sorry for being a pain. [}:)]
Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you sir.

Sorry, I guess what I meant is that if the threads (i.e., aka rotten and Doug Wilson's) can be moved under 1 sticky ... kinda like a shrine of some sort to pay our virtual respect (no pun intended).

I have no info..but fear the worst.
Joe hasn't posted in three years. He was quite a regular poster so I am afraid he is gone.
I enjoyed Joe's posts. He was an infantryman in WW2 in the battles in Europe. He called himself a "dogface."
Joe grew up in, and lived in, New Jersey.
I was fascinated to read his stories of taking the train up to New York City when he was a teenager, to buy guns!
It was legal. Joe and his buddies were into muzzloaders. They would go to gun shops in New York in the 1930s and buy Colt and Remington cap and ball pistols.
These were no Italian replicas, these were Civil War surplus guns. Nobody cared about the old Civil War guns then, and Joe and his pals bought them cheap.
If you have passed away, Joe, Rest in Peace. You are missed.

Was this the old fellow that used to like to post pics of deer on his property from time to time.
He also rode a quad when he could, and posted pics from those trips around his property as well.
I have been trying to remember his name, as I think this might be him.

Was he that guy who tried to win the GB t-shirt contest at the highest elevation riding his quad?
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

As a WW2 vet he had to be in his eighties. His wife probably didn't know how to work a computer so, if and when he passed away, there was nobody to notify the forums of what happened.
I did enjoy talking with Joe, especially about WW2. When I was a kid in the fifties my neighborhood was full of WW2 vets but, now, most of them, including my Dad, are gone.
Rest in Peace, Joe, you are missed. And thank you for defending American freedom in WW2.
Yes it was joeaf1911 who used to post all the pictures of his "pet" deer. He fed them every day.

RIP Fishermanben! Our thoughts and prayers to your entire family circle.
God bless!
But, Joe "joeaf1911a1" did pass away last year.
We all lost a great man and a great friend.
He was my friend and my mentor.
Here is his obit.
It doesn't mention his love of guns, reloading and shooting, but so
it goes.
