R. I. P. sir. You deserve it.

Oh damn, I liked his work. RIP Sir.

He was a good man. A strong family man. My interactions with him were limited to trade shows, but you can spot a phoney a mile away. He was one of the good ones. RIP John.

Last of the old time six gunners. He will be missed.

Too bad. One of the old schoolers, who knew what he was talking about.

He didn't shoot with his keyboard like a lot of internet experts either. He shot and posted his handload data and later in life suffered the arthritis in his hands that plagues all high volume shooters. Some mornings I can barely move my right thumb and I am only 60. But Taffin was the real deal.

Never heard of him, But RIP.
