On my mind (what's left of it) as well.
Fortunately, I have been blessed with at least three sons who appreciate their old man's hobby. They will gladly take it up. My fourth son and daughter will likely end up with a couple of pieces of sentimental value.
I told them that I was going to pull the grips and butt plates off of each item and write someone's name underneath. When the time comes, they'll have to disassemble everything to find out who gets what.
Seriously though, I did start a "book" wherein each page lists a particular firearm, when it was acquired and from whom, purchase price, etc. Below the data is a paragraph (or six) which contains any history, game taken, reloading data, modifications, etc. which I hope will 'tell the story' of an individual gun. Whoever inherits said piece, will also get the appropriate page out of the book as well.
They too will not have to wait as I have been handing out bits here and there. Then, there are ALL the grandkids....
