arkdweller22 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Sharon (she was a true sweetheart) and GioaJack come to mind as well as Okie. Good people all, and they're all missed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuckersDad Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I was a long time lurker on GT before I ever posted. I never spoke to or interacted with Sharon, but I immediately saw what a good person she was. I followed her course out to Mayo, but never guessed in my wildest dreams what was to come. She posted she was on her way home... then GKL posted that she was gone. I felt like I got kicked in the chest, and my breath was gone - I was just stunned. Funny how she made an impact on so many people, even complete strangers - just goes to show you what kind of person she was. What a legacy she made. VR and his kids were very blessed as were we all having known her, even if just online. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubdriver Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 They were all good folks and are sorely missed. Okie and Sharon are those I knew the best from their posts, with Mr. Tull a close follower. Learning that they'd passed in each case was an unpleasant shock. -Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonS Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Samurairabbi. I met him, I believe, at Eagle Creek range at my first GSSF match back in the late 90's. One of only two members I have met as far as I know. He seemed quite a gentleman and I suspect a bit of a character. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward Son Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 You gotta wonder how many folks have passed that we don't know about. I'd like to make a toast... To the unknowns :beer: I've always wondered about Schlid. He had some health issues then quit posting. Slewefoot is another. He started the epic have you seen anything strange in the woods thread on GT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read GKL's post that day, I literally cried out, "NO!!" and it took my breath away. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsmo1066 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Sharon and Okie hit especially close, but CJ, Silent Runner and our other fallen friends were all good people and are truly missed. RIP all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true believer Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) Blitzer, he was a good guy. We talked on the phone a few times. Then 1 day he wasn't around. Then it turned into months. Another member let me know when I started a thread asking if any one had seen him? he was my friend! 😪 Edited August 13, 2017 by true believer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the old 8:40 thread is still up on the old site, it's full of his wisdom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dric902 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I never got to meet Okie, but remember him well, and when the GNG changed name to the Okie Corral. Sharon was difficult as it was so unexpected, wonderful woman. Loved and proud of those kids . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitzer lived five minutes south of where I live. Never met him, but we talked on gt. His name was Herbert, right?
