This morning I learned about the passing of longtime member and mentor Art Eatman. Art was a heck of a guy, a hell of a story teller and a vast repository of knowledge. He was generous, kind, quick witted, but did not suffer fools. Though he was always ready and willing to teach and educate instead of belittling. We could all learn from that.

Art will be missed. The world is now a dimmer place without him. God speed good sir.

I'm not ashamed to say I cried when I read this.

Art did Cyndi and I a huge kindness last week.
In thanks we talked to him on phone. Cyndi promised him a big hug and promised him we would visit him in Georgia next summer. In typical Art humor he said " I got to wait to summer"?
They don't come any better than Art
 
Wow. I teared myself on this one as well.

So sad.

RIP Art. My thoughts and prayers for his wife and family amd particularly that his wife has a strong support network.

I've never met the man but Ive been a round a while and pay attention,,,, Art was a kind man.

I could tell by his posts that he is the guy that would prefer to carry you on his shoulders rather than leave you behind.

Sad news :(

I had the pleasure to meet Art at one of the THR get togethers that Sandy and Larry put together years ago. While shooting pistols with some of the other THR members, Art came over and gave me some advice on my draw and helped me fix a couple things.

It wasn't until a few years ago that I learned where Art had picked up his techniques. I was talking with Chip McCormick and he mentioned how Art was an influence on him getting into the sport. That spawned Chip McCormick magazines, 1911 components, and he had a hand in the Kimber 1911s.

Rest in Peace, my friend.
 
Always terrible to hear whenever someone passes. I followed him on here for many years and learned a lot from his posts and even though I only physically met him once I could definitely see that he was a great man.

Godspeed Art.
 
One of my fondest hunting memories is sitting on an old flatbed trailer on a glorious sunny morning shotgun in hand with Art and between shooting doves, talking about nothing in particular for hours on end. I know I’ll get to hunt with again one of these days.

That really was a great day.
