Jim Yackley passed away today. He's been a regular feature on A-R for some time. I'm 10-4 that Jim could be a little...'outspoken'. Lets just say he enjoyed spirited conversations.

But he was a good man and a good friend. He was a Vietnam Vet, retired Army Major, serious hunter, great wing shot, and loved to talk all things guns. I had to be careful about telling him about something I needed or was looking for at gun shows as a package would show up from him containing the item and he wouldn't ask for anything in return. He was a first class finder of obscure things.

Several of us hunted with Jim multiple times. He will be missed.

Sorry to hear that, my condolences.

I bought a couple of different items from Jim within the last year and they were always as he represented them. Sorry to hear of his passing.

My condolences to his family.

We're losing some good ones again. Sorry.

With Jim's passing, I lost a hunting buddy and friend. We have been to Argentina a couple times, Namibia, and on Niihau twice to whack some pigs with Matt Norman.

He will be missed, and fondly spoken of by many for a long time to come.
God bless his soul.

Geoff

RIP and condolences........
