Dave, as you know, I am a very new member here, but I have already learned much here; and "here" (GTA) would not be here if not for Gene and Bob; I owe them a debt of gratitude, and one to you, also, for agreeing to take on the task of continuing GTA in the future.

Gene, I'm sorry I did not get to meet you this side of the veil; I pray for a place in deep heaven for you; and for your friends and family, I pray God will grant them a measure of the peace that surpasses all human understanding (in His own good time).

take care & God bless,
dave

I was not here long enough to have direct contact with Gene, but have read many of his post. Rest in peace Gene, your guidance and knowledge have helped this guy and many, many more. Condolences to his family and friends.
Cheers,
John

A sad evening when I heard this news. We have lost a dear friend, a true gentleman, an honored American veteran, and a giant of our air gun community. Thank you, Gene, for all you shared and taught us, and for all you gave back to this community. You will be sorely missed, but ever remembered by those of us who had the good fortune to know you well, to have shared time with you and to have counted you among our true friends. Rest in peace, big guy.

Gene will be greatly missed. R.I.P co-founder of a great airgun forum.

I've only been a member here for a week or two and don't really know Mr. Gene but it looks like he helped built a great forum and seemed to be a great guy from what I have read. I would also like to thank him for serving our country and preserving all the rights and freedoms we have as a country. Rest in peace buddy.

One more thing to add for Bob and Gene. You guys could write a book on how to successfully build and run a forum. Of all the forums I post/read on, this is by far the most well run. This isn't limited to AG sites.

Why not, built and guided by a couple of Gentlemen. I never expected less.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I sincerely hope his legacy will endure for many generations with his continued guidance. Kudos my friend, wishing you only sunny days with little wind.

Really sad to read of Gene's departure !

As a RELATIVELY new visitor to GTA I would also like to join in expressing my thanks to/for Gene and Bob who started it all! I also thank those dedicated moderators who make this smooth running forum possible! I visit several airgun forums but my favourite has become the GTA thanks to those brilliant minds that made this site so "user friendly"!

No other airgun site I attend allows me to simply click a button and view only replies to my posts, personal messages, unread posts, etc, and all is available without the hassle of viewing pages of buried posts just to see if there is a new reply to an old post!

Again......THANKS BOB, GENE, THE MODERATORS, AND ALL WHO VISIT MAKING THE GTA A SPECIAL PLACE TO VISIT!

Gene,

You will be missed. Thank you for providing us with a great forum, even greater laughs, friendship and kindness.

Gene,

I wish you all the airguns you could ever dream of and the most amazing shop in the afterlife! I'm sure when its my time you will be there with open arms welcoming me just like you did when I made the 18 hour drive to the GTA shoot.

My friend you will be missed till we meet again.

Bruce
