Got a message this morning on one of the black powder forums.
Seems a man who had known Tony did not know of his passing back in 2008. The poor man had thought Tony was just ignoring him.
sad
Hope I informed him nicely enough about Tony's death ...
What did strike me funny was he said Tony had traded with him
so he could get a rifle so his BOYS could get into shooting too.
Out of the blue , years after his death ... I am once again reminded to water the garden and help the young shooters grow.
Reminded of how my friend Tony taught me many things and how he is a part of me today.
This is my message that I am doing the right thing by giving away more rifles in Tony's name. It is what he would have wanted. I know that now for sure...
You will never leave my thoughts or my heart Tony Santamarina.
never ever brother GOD BLESS YOU ... may you be at peace
He's a part of me too brother! He, and you, helped me out a lot when I was first starting out...I miss him!
ReplyDeleteTELLS ME IT IS RIGHT
ReplyDeleteWATER THE GARDEN ... FORGETT THE PAST
LEAVE THOSE PEOPLE BEHIND
TONY WAS A MAN AMONG MEN
A HERO ABOVE ALL ...
HE WAS MY FRIEND AND
NOT A SINGLE DAY HAS GONE BY THAT I DID NOT THINK OF HIM.
NOT AFRAID TO SAY I LOVED HIM. HE WAS THE BEST
I try and water the garden every chance I get. I tell folks about Tony when I start them into shooting.
