Murphy, what can I say. I showed up one freezing cold day at the range, you asked me if I were crazy, and the rest was history. You took the time to coach me on the Trap field ,as we were the only two there. Although I didn’t know you as well as many, we spent every Wednesday at 9am together, solving the worlds problems and enjoying a morning of shooting and conversation. I do know you loved your family, you loved your country and you loved talking about old times. I will speak of you often, I will never forget your kindness, I will miss you dearly. Until we meet again my friend….”Pull”

Roe and I will miss you.

About fifteen years ago I met a new, true friend at the range. Bill was pulling for me and I was dropping birds. His patience and guidance helped me hone the skill as well as a friendship. We shared laughs, anguish, tears, memories. His deep love for Donna and Cherie. He was a giving true friend. His patience at the range with Bea and Maya….incredible instructor. Already I wait for the phone to ring for our daily problem -solving sessions – and laughs. I’ll wait for a long time my friend. The silence is huge. We’ll miss you so much. Peace my friend. Bea and I will miss you. Yes….”pull”!
