I'm glad we could all come together and fight over the death of a good man, the campfire really is just like family.
RIP Greg

Your definition of "curmudgeon" must differ from mine.
Folks ain't shy around here about expressing negative opinions, I think if they meant "A$$$ole" they woulda said "A$$$ole".
YMMV

My thoughts exactly heavywalker,
Kent, thanks for that update.

I'll miss him, regardless of other people's opinions. He was his own man, and comfortable with it. Nothing wrong with that.

i always thought that 1960 guy was a pretty good dude. a deputy sheriff in tenn. if memory serves? retired military? not sure. he was from oregon or some other far off place. what was the catalyst that set those two old dudes off against each other? i recall that hunter 60 was always wanting to get a welfare check on the dude from AZ. maybe he had an intuitive sense that was missed by the rank & file? Oh please. 1960 told me he was going to arrange for a SWAT raid of my home. Rick immediately confronted him on the open forums about it, and he backed down with such talk. That was the sort of thing he threatened for Greg also. 1960 was a loose cannon that should never have been issued a badge, and Greg was right to give him a hard time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I wasn't aware of this stuff .

No,you are disrespectful and wanted to be heard. Does it cross your mind that maybe nobody wants to hear what you have to say?
Especially when it concerns a friend who has recently passed? Your best option is to back away silently. Does it cross your mind that I don't give a fugg what you or others want to hear? If you can't deal with your friend being an azzhole, that's your problem not mine. His friend is deceased and cannot respond to your attacks. Do you have a decent bone in your body you [bleep] piece of [bleep]?

It is best to wait for the body to be in the ground, before pissing on the grave.

I'll just say that I enjoyed Greg's hospitality, his photo albums, the books that he gave me, the phone calls, and our extended visits over a cup or three of coffee when I had reason to be in Sierra Vista. He loved my wife's diatribes in The American Thinker and never failed to call and give her a verbal pat on the back. He was the first to call when our good friend Rob Krentz was murdered.
YMMV.

I do not know what transpired. They were found inside his home. My guess is they will send his remains to the medical examiner to determine COD. Other than informing me of his passing, no specific information was provided by the deputy that called following my request for a wellness check. In truth I did not want to know and did not ask. I will remember him as he is in the picture, with a gun he restored in my behalf.
My last communication with him was on 9-23 via email and by phone a few days prior when he called to inquire how we fared with H. Irma. He mentioned that he had been having a bout of back pain, but otherwise seemed normal in all regards.
I'm fairly hardened to such things, but this one hits kind of close to home. He had done a fair bit of gun work for me in days gone by and provided guidance on the topic many times. To hear him speak of better days he came from many lands and lived life to the fullest. From his days on board the sea going ships with his father, to Canada and other points of the compass. He lived as some only dream of and he has my undying respect.
Dan I am sorry to hear this...but I'm glad with whatever transpired, that he is with Gracie...

No details yet and I'm not one of the ones that want them. However it went down, I hope it was quick and painless for the both of them. To everyone else, please don't pontificate on the "quick and painless" aspect. It's all any of us can ask for when it's our time.
It's about like this:
"Do you puff peters?"
"Hell no!"
"NAZI!!!"

It seems so unusual to open onto this forum and not have a forum reply or message from Greg. He'd bust my chops often, and he was usually right. He was a bit unique. He would bust you down but still be a friend. He never took things personally. What a loss.

Question all you want. Go back in this very thread and see how many times the word curmudgeon was used. All that is is a nice way of saying the guy was an azzhole.
While Greg could be an azzhole - he would readily admit to it. (Unlike many here!) (I've used the self-description of "old curmudgeon" for many years on another site! Does that make me an azzhole?)
I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.

No, Mark, it doesn't - but there are other things you could try. How is Joy doing? Been thinking about both of you.

YMMV. I took a moment to read up on the Rob Krentz murder. Every ranchers nightmare who lives close to the border.

You folks that have to turn a death notice thread in to a disrespectful pizzing match disgust me to the core.
Have you no respect for the mans passing without injecting your venomous posts into it and quarreling.
Please take it to PM's or start a different thread simply out of decency even if you have no respect.
