The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

Sorry for your loss, may he live on in his firearm legacy. My grandfather is currently in possession of some firearms from my grandmothers uncle that ar earmarked for me. That will be 4 generations they have traveled through. Also my father in law has a Colt detective special in the Colt box that was his dad's. I will make sure my son inherits that. I firmly believe we are caretakers of things that will out last our mortal bodies.

Doc,
I'm so sorry for your loss. He left you a beautiful legacy. Gave me pause for a moment... as it looks like I AM "That uncle" in my generation. But I'm gonna let 'em all fight over the stuff in the safe after I'm gone, and I'm gonna laugh when they take the pretty ones over the really really GOOD ones.

May your uncle rest in peace.
Amen,
+Michael

This is just one of his rifles out of his two old gun cabinets, which are all mine plus around 15 handguns and tons of ammo.
