I saw on last night's news that Dick Cabela passed away yesterday, age 77. He and his brother have done a lot for hunters, fisherfolks, conservationists and misc. outdoors people. RIP

The Cabelas brothers have cost me a lot of money over the years. Boy has it been fun doing business with them.
My wife heard me on the phone one morning around 3am & wanted to know who I was talking to at that time of the night, it was one of the many courteous & helpful salespeople that they employ.(couldn't sleep)
We have most definitely lost one of the good guys.

Gotta give you this one. RIP Dick.
Hope you won't be the only store in Happy Hunting Grounds.
The only thing I ever bought from Cabela's is my Sabattis , but they were worth it.

Eternal Memory to Dick, from humble beginnings in my Sweet Wyoming Home to a wide spread of American and Canadian stores across this great continent.

Another good guy gone. Besides success with his stores he was an avid hunter, fisherman and conservationist. RIP

It is beyond impressive for him and his partners to have gone from a VERY small scale mail order business to the current network of stores. I believe he literally started off selling fishing flies and built it up from there. Just amazing. Rest in peace.

Condolences to family and friends. Cabela's has probably outfitted more hunts than any other firm in history.

Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer.

Very sad indeed. Cabelas has cost me a lot of money over the years. I loved every minute of spending it though. RIP Mr Cabela

Hunting is not a matter of life or death....It's much more important

Condolences to Dicks family & friends. To his credit, he built a great business and a business with the best customer service from any I have had dealings with. That in itself is a reflection of his character & values.

Got to shake his hand in Dallas a couple years ago, glad I took the moment to speak to him.
