That is a shame, I had some interesting conversations with him. I am sure he will be missed.

Wow I hate to see that. He will be missed. He was a good member with alot in common with many other members. Bless him and his family.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that! He was a good guy.

Thats to bad had some interisting posts with him.

Sorry to hear that.

He will be trully missed.

Thats a major bummer to hear! I enjoyed his comments on the Quarterbores quite a bit.
Carpetman, If you know his family please pass along my condolences. Nate

Likewise, he'll be missed on this side of the Pacific as well. A true gentleman.
Cheers...

We didn't always agree but I listened to what he had to say. Yup goodby to another one of us.

I'm sorry to hear that. I enjoyed his posts. My condolences to his family.

Yes, I will miss his comments as well. My prayers & condolesences go out to his family. For those who are interested, his daughter posted on Graybeardoutdoors where he was a moderator that due to his health, he had no insurance & Greybeard is in the process of finding out what can be done.

That is very sad to hear. He was one of the gentlemen on the board that I most enjoyed conversing with.

Please express my heartfelt condolances to his family. I'll remember him, and dedicate some tight WSSM groups to his memory. Dutch.

I am sorry to learn that Lawdog Gary has died. I will miss his civilized manners and his experience-based posts. We are all richer because he shared his thoughts with us.

He will be missed in my part of Europe too.

Nice guy.

I just read this on http://www.greybeardoutdoors.com
Gary's daughter is trying to get donations to bury Gary seems he had no insurance or money. Greybeard list the funeral home where money can be send.

My wife or family could bury me several times over by peddling off my collection of firearms.
Sad but true...
I offer my condolences to his family, but...

Gary claimed a wide variety of firearms, many of collector value. A better resource than asking for donations over the Internet?

My condolences to his family as well.

Mulerider-You bring up a very good point. While both my wife and I have policies, I have told both her and out oldest that if things get tight after I am gone, move some of the guns before digging into anything else. I've put together a log of the guns, scopes, etc. along with their values (amount paid, replacement cost and actual market value)and keep the list in the safe. That same list would also come in handy in case anything ever happened and homeowner's insurance had to kick in.

Today, dividends/interest rates are so low that it makes much more sense to invest in guns or something similar. It may take a little time to liquidate, but at least you know the value isn't likely to take a major nosedive overnight.

I used this very technique recently. I haven't worked much lately (not good when you're self-employed) due to health problems. So last month, I listed a few guns & other items here on AR, and they sold very quickly (THANKS for the great and FREE classifieds, Saeed!).

I am truely sorry to hear this, Gary and I had alot in common, with oilfield experience in the Geysers in northern CA. I am depressed. This is truely sad news..............Looks like some of us other weatherby cartridge fans will have to pick it up where Gary left off. Lawdog Gary was a class act. My first 240 wby mag load was one of his that he rec'd to me.

Condolenscences to his family and they will be in my families prayers....

Another gentleman with a lot of class....

God Bless him.. Hopefully there is a heaven and he is out in the field shooting varmints or targets with his favorite rifle...as we speak...

Thanks for the notice of his passing...

Perhaps someone that knows them could help the family organize the sale of some of his guns. I am, however, suprised to hear about financial problems as he talked about hunting in Alaska.

You guys need to go over to greybeards site and read the latest on Gary. The funeral cost are $2900,casket $3000 extra cost since he was so tall,plot $2900 wife,daughter and son have had him creamated to save money at least thats the latest word. One of the last posters on Greybeards site,Medium Bore Rifles Forum say something ain't right! One member gave $100 by credit card to the funeral home daughter said no money has been given. Sad end, and I'm sure more will come to light in the future.
