A sad event indeed. All I can say is to offer my condolences to his family and friends in this time of their grief. May he Rest in Peace.

Unhappy Re: I just heard, Artabr died today

JLA texted me last last night with the sad news. A good man gone and a first class coon-ass gone too.

Art, your Joie de Vivre will be missed, rest in peace cher.

Prayers said for your family Art.

Art was many things far beyond the realm of the gun world.
His favorite past-time was digging up great obscure music
that many had forgotten about long ago. Good music.
He was an aficionado to say the least.

My Brother Art and I shared many things together..........
music[of course], coon-ass relatives, spicy recipes, are but a few.

His friendly and neighborly nature has touched countless others
all around the globe, and would never allow him to dwell on
health issues, which is the reason this comes as such
a shock to so many.

My dear friend.....I will see you again.......
and we will reminisce in bliss.
Until then, I will again listen to your favorite songs......
think of you.....and hear them.....in your honor.

I know you are smiling......
but it is still a sad time for me.

I still have some of the hot Chow Chow he sent me. Such a generous man and a great friend.

Is it okay to be pissed off that he's gone?

Not only a loss to TFF but a loss to the world. Another good man now in God's hands. Sorry to hear he is gone, but he isn't forgotten.

Heart problems, according to the folks on the board I linked. They said he'd been sick for a while.
