Damnit to hell

They say people go in threes... first it was labgrade, now Kentucky Rifle, and today i was informed a friend of our family only has 2 weeks due to cancer. this sucks.

Never knew KR, but he was a great guy around here, may he RIP.
 
Aw, crap. :(


Let this be a lesson to me: Never say, "Well, I'll just get around to answering that PM tomorrow..."

I'll miss you, Will. :( :( :(
 
Wow, I only knew him through his posts but he seemed a very decent man. I had been wondering when the next update for his recent thread about problems would be and also hope it had nothing to do with what went on but coincidences do happen..

It must be hard for y’all who knew him well, may he rest in peace and may God bless his friends and family in this hard time. (or Allah Budda or any other deity that one believes in)
 
This is terrible, I have been following his thread about his problems and have been praying for him. I was hoping everything would straighten out for him. I guess the fact that he is in a better place should make us happy for him but he will be missed.
 
Damn, this a major loss. I didnt know will outside of this forum, but always enjoyed reading his posts. It really sucks that this happens after a period of sadness and stress in his life, rahter than ending with some happiness. Will, you are missed. RIP.
 
Wow....:( I'm truly shocked and saddend by this news.

P95 thanks for the pic.

4v50 Gary and Tamara are right... live now and live well.... may KR rest in peace...:(
 
Another sad loss, but another man who remains immortal through the wisdom he shared on THR and doubtless in the hearts of his friends. :(
 
That sucks. I talked with him via e-mail just a week ago. He was a really neat guy. Always full of stories. Always really just a nice person. He had a standing invitation to visit if he was ever out this way. Will is going to be missed by a lot of people.
 
God I feel horrible. I've been meaning to call him and stop by for a visit since the last time he came in the shop and haven't found the time. Now it's too late. :(
 
My last PM from Will .. May 10 2004 ....
Chris, You guys make me feel SO good. And it would be nice to get away for a couple of weeks. However, I have to stay here and "get on with it". My ex is now threatening my family. I can't run out while that is going on. If it was just me, I'd be there in a heartbeat. But my ex has gone so nuts that she's making these threats to my family! Hey Chris you can send me an e-mail at: [email protected] I took it off my profile because I've been getting porn and Viagra advertizements. I didn't want my e-mail address to be floating around. Every morning, I delete 6 or 7 spam adds.

Just wanted to let a bit more of the man's self shine thru ...... I am still ever so sad ... and yet we never even met FTF .... oh how I wish we had.
 
A philosopher, a gentleman, a statesman, and a part of the family. Always got cheered up by his PM's.

You will be missed but not forgotten! :banghead: Always the good ones...

Godspeed my friend.
 
Oh my God, I was just about to type Will an email! :(

Will and I had exchanged email for a long time now. I feel as though I knew him well.

He has helped me to cope with my migraines, and I only hope that I have somehow helped him to cope with his tragic divorce.

I'm very sad, even though I know he's in a place where he has hearing in both of his ears, where his back won't hurt from when he was hit by a truck, where gunshot wound scars won't show. He won't have to deal with the images that were left over to him from the Vietnam War.

This man was amazing. I only wish I could have met him in person... now I have to accept the fact that I'll never get to buy him that steak that I promised him.

Will was in some rough times as of late. I would rather that he actually got a chance to move to Florida and start that new gunshop, but I know there's a good guy watching over Will right now.

Will, I miss you already. Take care... Hopefully I won't be too long.

And now my screen's blurry.

Will loved his dogs, and in fact, all defenseless dogs, a hell of a lot. I think that's the thing I'll remember most about him...

Vaya con Dios.
 
Hello all,

Just wanted to chime in this thread for a moment. I didn't know KR at all, really. I'm new here, and don't do much posting yet. But, I had read of his problems with the ex, and offered to help, since my wife and I are both LE here locally. He never really got back with me, and I've had a couple of Pm's asking if there were anyway I could find out some more about what happened. I'm gonna try and find some details (if there are any) about what happened, and will pass on everything through Preacherman.

Hopefully, there will not be anything to find out, as some have mentioned he was not in the best of health. But, please understand, if the police ARE looking at something, I may not be able to disclose much, if anything, due to an ongoing investigation. Again, I hope there was no foul play involved, and will contact a few people tomorrow (Thursday) to see if anything is being looked at.

I would like to send my condolensces (sp?) out to all who knew KR, and to his family as well. I didn't really know him, but for a couple of PM's on here. However, it's sad when any good man goes before he should, and that seems to be the case here.
