A sad time leads up to a happy plan.......

One of my nephews in Ga. passed away suddenly the morning after Christmas and it was a shock to us even though he had been going thru some medical issues. The funeral service was put in place quickly like yesterday Thursday and wife and I were not able to make it but my son was able to make the trip along with another nephew of mine coming from Tenn.
Got a call from my sister down there and also talking to my son and the plan down there is for a big family get together in June 2024 which be around my departed nephew's birthday. The family has some land down there in Central Ga. and they have a 1000 yd shooting range on a piece of it.
While talking with my son down there he said he was able to get a few 1000 yd hits in on a steel plate with the house Ruger 6.5 Creedmoor rifle.
Can't wait to get down there and to celebrate the life of my deceased nephew.

What a great way to celebrate his life. In the meantime my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sorry for your loss my friend.
I have attended too many military and LE funerals, so we no longer go.
We send flowers and our regrets.
I won't even attend mine or Miss T's; we just won't have one.

Sorry for your loss. It’s good that you could turn it into something positive.

If your nephew was a shooter I’m sure he will appreciate the ringing of the gong in his honor.

Sorry to read that Forty.
My friend in Idaho of 50+ years passed away two weeks ago and we're doing something similar in June. It's been a bit tough; so, I know where you're at.

Thanks guys. Rick is the first of the family grandchildren to pass on and he was 63 and one of 4 kids of my sister. He worked up until the last week of his life as a mechanical tech at the State Veterans Home and was well liked and will be missed. He would go all out to ensure the comfort of the elder veterans.

My condolences to you and your family forty.
I hope you connect with some of that steel this summer.
