Sad to report...

[Ken O'Neill]

I got a note from JD Jones yesterday telling me of the death of Ken French on Tuesday August 31, following a battle with cancer. He was 71.
Ken was employed with Thompson / Center Arms for 43 years as a gun designer, R&D guy, manager and all-around mover and shaker in that company.
I met Ken in 1991 on a handgun hunt in Ohio. He was a friendly and knowledgeagle guy and an avid hunter and handgunner. He will certainly be missed.

I GOT THIS SAD NEWS ALSO. KEN WAS ONE OF THE BEST IN THE INDUSTRY. HE WAS 3 MONTHS YOUNGER THAN I AM.

Prayers sent for his family.
