This site and it's predecessors would not be what they became without him. He was mister 6.5mm before the millenials got a hold of it.

Sad day.

Hoot was one of my very favorite people in this whole world. I. Could say so many nice things about him but we all know, because he was kind and giving to us all.

He will be missed.

I am sorry for his family and for us. The world is a lesser place without him. I am not sorry for him. His suffering is over and he has entered into the peace of the Lord. As David said many thousand years ago, "He will not return to me, but I will go to him."

I hate it that Hoot has gone on.

But much as I hate it, it's better than staying. I remember the last week of my father's life as the cancer finally took him... I know that "he's in a better place" is a cliché, but for Hoot (and for my dad) I really believe it.

Now I'm going to have to create a project rifle in .250 Savage.
