Gentlemen, I've just found out a Friend and fellow gun enthusiast has passed. He's known as "RUFFITT".

May Jim have happiness and peace at last.

You'll be greatly missed My FRIEND!

My most heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.

A true firearm enthusiast and indeed, a fine gentelman. Had his oxygen bottle strapped to one side of the wheelchair and a .40 S&W to the other side. We'll miss ol' Ruffit, his silly graphics and great fortitude. Peace, Old Friend...........

I didn't know this gentleman but everytime I hear of good man passing on I think of this quote:

"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived."
- General George S. Patton, Jr

Ruffitt was one of the good guys. He was always the one who kept his head and doled out the common sense and was a freind to many of us. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Best wishes to his family.

Got the word this morning . Been in a blue funk all day - very sad . When shooter put on that get-together a few years back that's when I met Jim . We've spoken on the phone and shot some emails at each other .Truly a sad day . Took time to help and say hi to new members . He will be missed .

Tonight I'll be donning a pink to-to , tipping my tinfoil hat and raising my glass of BOB's BEST in his honor . He was one of the good ones .




To Ruffit

Oh man, this is the first I've heard of it.

May God give him easy passage into his Kingdom and grant him the peace and happiness he so deserves after his long illness.

Condolinces to his family.

Jim
