I'm sad today.

My pal and shooting buddy Charlie passed away yesterday after a long fight. Gun shows will not be the same without him. Rest in peace buddy.

As we all get older more and more of us know how you feel.

Take care and Godspeed to your friend.

Dave, we've only met a few times in person, talked on the phone a bit and exchanged a few emails...but if Charlie was your shooting buddy, I'm guessing he was a fine man.

My condolences as well.

Sorry for the loss of your friend.
Good friends are hard to come by and even harder to lose.

Thanks everyone. Charlie was my first friend in PA and we did something gun/shooting related almost every weekend together. He was in the hospital for 160+ days but I always thought he would recover and we could hit the road together again. Sadly it was not to be. I will miss him horribly. Yes Paul, he was a fine man, a man's man you might say. He was 15 years older than me, but had hunted Africa a few times and was always up for some hyjinx/adventure. We were like brothers. Thanks to all of you for being here for me.

So sorry to hear...I've lost a few musician friends recently...Friday the wife & I went out for a drive and stopped in at Leadbelly's grave (at a very nondescript graveyard in the middle of nowhere) to reflect for a while. Mourn the loss but celebrate the life.

One of my favorite pics of my buddy Charlie. He always wanted to make one last Africa trip.

I take it personally, and then I get withdrawn and isolate. Best to avoid that if you can.
