I am so angry at Eaker right now. I ache for Donna and Gunner. I have no words. This is too much to process.

Thanks for taking that so well, Jonty. I should have held my tongue, but I’m taking Tom’s loss pretty hard. I’m sorry I snapped at you.

We are diminished, with his passing.

God bless Eaker’s family at this time of separation, now that Eaker has been called Home.

Thank you, Sal. I didn’t know I’d feel such a profound loss. I feel like my blood kin has passed. I damn near lost it in the office today, I was so heartbroken.

My wife sent flowers today, and we’re going to follow up with something to help the family with expenses.

OMG, my exact first thoughts.
I saw him posting on NYTexan’s thread.
My Prayers to all.

It was just a shock to all of us who are already in shock. He even posted on my picture of John on Facebook yesterday afternoon sometime.

I’ve been to all of the TCMS shoots, but don’t recall one in Orange, unless it was the first one, in the Houston area. I never know what part of town I’m in when I’m there.

They could go through some bullets all right.

I’m in shock and I am at a distance.
Didn’t John come with you to my house? Wasn’t it him that taught me about soaking corn in their husks before grilling?

Eaker and I talked many times over the years, we never had a cross word between us.

I am just so sad about all of this. My Heart hurts.

The next shoot will be a memorial for many, it seems, only starting with TexasCowboy. There were Dix and Flyer and now NY Texan and Eaker...and who knows of the ones that I don’t know about.

It is. My head is all muddled and it’s surreal...like a very long frightening nightmare that I can’t wake up from.

Yes, that was John with us. He is originally from Buffalo. I’ll never forget that evening...and the corn was excellent! He did it nearly every time we got together. :)

I'm right there with you, BT. it's like a punch to the gut. I haven't been right all day, and still am at a loss for words.
