Hello, it's been awhile since I've been on GTA and looks like it had been too long since I said hi to my good friend Gene . I was shocked to read of his passing .
I met Gene online many years ago and in person at the very first "Get Together " .
He will be truly missed .
Prayers to his family . David Kirby aka gillchaser

Oh boy.... During my leave of absence from the forums, I missed on something big.  I got to meet Gene at last years fun shoot.  I was only there for part of 1 day, and had to leave.  But during that time, I got to talk to gene a bit.  From my time on the forum, and my time I had to talk to Gene, it's been a pleasure.  Thanks for everything Gene, and god Bless.

I have just joined the club recently and other than my required introduction post this will be my first in any gate. I'm honored that it be in recognition someone so respected by the community and whose contributions have led to the benefit of so many, "God bless you Gene". I too have felt the loss of ones close to me because of cancer, I detest it. Unless a person goes through the ordeal with someone, and I wish that on nobody, it's hard to realize the pain, emotions, prayers, and totally unveiled conversations that take place during such time. I believe all Americans should honor those who give so much and whose shoulders we stand on in so many areas of each of ours lives. Thank you to all those responsible for establishing this forum. I wish I could have met Gene.

Thought about adding a link to this thread into the recent announcement. But instead, I will just add a reply to bring it back for another look and more comments if you wish.

I remember the first time I met both Gene and Bob.  It was the Funshoot at Gene's in the spring of 2012. I had talked to those two guys a few times on the phone before that,  but here we were face-to-face.  No pretentiousness at all. What you see is what you get.  I remember thinking to myself, Wow, these two guys started the GTA from scratch and have grown it into, even if not the biggest, by far, the best, Airgun Forum in the world. How is that for a legacy?
Even though I am very sad that they are both now gone, I feel honored that I was able to meet them, learn from them,  and call them my friends. 
I will never forget them.
Lloyd
