Tragic to say the least. Way too young in my mind.
Adios Amigo.

Mr. Taffin, I know all the guys in that group pic except the one on the extreme left. Who is that ? Taffin can properly speak to the man but that is Bob Baer who was a heck of a gunsmith in his day. Thanks Fowler, he looked familiar but if I’ve ever heard of him I’ve forgotten about it. |

Never met the man but read his stuff. We lost another true Icon to our diminishing crowd with the tactical wannabes ruling the roost! Single action revolvers have taken a big hit lately hopefully the remaining Giants will hang in there while we recover!

When Skeeter passed it took me totally by surprise. I too, felt the loss. Then to add to it there was no information on what brought about his passing. It seems like it was close to a year or more before I finally heard what the circumstances were. Now out of the blue it is Bart and again no information about why. I would really like to know what brought on his passing.
