Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Crossfireoops

I don't say very much of late. Seems like the place has filled up with a bunch of loudmouth know nothings. I do however use the "ignore feature quite often. He just joined those in the coral.

Let thee with out sin cast the first stone.

Doubt there will be more like him.... One of my favorites and still hurting here so some of ya'll can go.... Nevermind, it's implied and ya'll know better. RIP Crossfireoops!

Loosing men like Greg also means loosing a wealth of knowledge and ability that is getting damn near impossible to replace. As the old country song says, "who's gonna fill their shoes"? I never spoke to Greg personally but did PM from time to time, and he helped me out on several occasions when I needed the type of advice that he was so well suited to provide.

I suspect the man had his demons, as we all do, but despite that he was a productive and respected member of society which is a damn sight more than can be said for a lot of people. I'll miss his posts here, both the knowledge and the wit that he could display when the mood took him, and know that we are diminished by his loss.

Glass houses and all that as well.

Unfortunately this forum and our society is full of lots of rock throwers and broken windows.

Many times SHE thinks I am!
She got a rash about 3 days before the 2nd surgery - they did it anyway.
She's a little beat down, but doing well all-in-all.
Thanks to you and Maddy for the flowers - that was a very nice thing!

We're hanging in there!

I'll miss his phone conversations and PM's .

Rooster, I understand your sentiments, however, my understanding of Greg & the situation is that "you would have been good to go", to the next battle/issue/conversation the following day. No ongoing grudges held !

3rd's !

Greg and I talked about falling block's and rolling blocks. He did a beautiful job of converting a stock to fit a Favorite I was building. Bristoe readily donated a tool he needed to complete the job. I sent him some odds and ends now an then as I was giving up my 'smithing doings as my hands got too bad to keep up.He sent me a book (Old Wolfville) he traded some black powder for cases of and we often referred to it in posts.

Greg will be seriously missed by me like many of the others here that have passed on.

Keep shooting the big BP boomers Sir, keep the Angels on their toes.

This thread says MUCH about many. Mostly good, sadly some bad. And my guess is that he'll be awaitin the bad at the gates.

Again, RIP sir.

Where you want me to throw it?

I did not know Cross.....and I doesn't matter to me one way or another how he met his demise.


If we find out fine...if not fine....its none of my business.

I do have lots of people close to me that I would care to know how or why they died. I reckon there are only a few ways to die that are not preventable.

Its too late for the ones that are gone, but maybe we can learn from them and try to help the folks we know that are living. Sometimes its easier not knowing of course.

Just the way I look at things.

Greg and Gracie both screams foul play to my cop instincts. Those same instincts would like to know ho such a man met his maker. I will keep an eye on the Sierra Vista paper.

I can't say that I care and I certainly don't feel entitled to know, but one dog dead and the other not, makes me curious just because it's my nature to be curious.

One dog outside, one dog inside.

Yep......I'd bet Greg simply had a stroke/heart attack and Gracie died from thirst/hunger.

Doesn't really matter....dead's dead but it's a shame someone couldn't get Gracie scooped up and cremated.

My guess also.

It doesn't matter how he went. My uncle was a pool of liquid when they found him alone in his cabin. Still not curious as to how, doesn't matter, even tho it might have even been foul play by the bitch he willed everything to. Wouldn't let the family in even for important papers or photos. And immediately sold off everything.

Once a person is gone it's best for those close to him to get their closure, the struggles are over.

again I say RIP Greg, the rest does not matter to me at this point
