RIP Art Spancake

[duff]

For those who have not found out yet it is with the deepest regrets that I have to tell you this way, Art passes away yesterday. He was a great man to his family and friend. Very generous and dedicated to hunting and shooting sports. He was active in various orgs from ducks/elk/turkey/NRA giving time and money. He was always accused of rigging the drawings at the various banquets as he seemed to win everything. Trick was he was buying lots of tickets!!!!

He had told me the last time we hunted together just after christmas that he had slowed down on his web postings for various reasons but would always stop in on Woody's site. The email I recieved from his family indicated a heart attack while he was in a field hunting geese. Just another testiment to his stuborn ways ;D

My thoughts and prayers are with his family right now. They lost a heck of a man.

WOW! What a shock! He seemed to be in very good health and had just retired to spend all the time he could doing what he loved -hunting. For those of you who didn't know him, his screen name was "shoots a 410". I didn't know him well and never had a chance to hunt with him, but I shot enough rounds of skeet with him to attest to the fact that he was outstanding with a scattergun, and a lot of fun to hang out with. He even helped my grandson out with some tips to help with his shooting. He'll be missed in this household . I'm sure that right now, he's sitting somewhere in a blind with a sky full of geese overhead, razzing the guys he's sitting with every time they miss one.

You ain't a kidding Hux! I hated to miss when I was hunting with him...It was even better though when he missed!!!
