Just thought I'd pass along that our relatively new member, Dave Sample, who was my instructor in the Patriot on-line course, died. He had been suffereing from heart problems for a long time, and he went peacefully in his sleep. He got to see and speak with his kids, who live out of state, before hand too.

Just lettin' y'all know.

Best,
Jon

I don't recall him, but God rest his soul. My condolences. I really hate to lose part of the family.

Oh no. I knew his health was failing but no specifics. I really hate to hear it.

Hello, my name is Jennifer Sample, the granddaughter of captain eagle. as im sure many people do, i miss him greatly, for 5 years. i follow the threads on here and it warms my heart to see people talking about him fondly, its nice to know that he was well thought of. i hope people continue to think of him fondly instead of his last moments in a hospital

Welcome aboard Jennifer.

Thanks guys for making me feel welcome. It has now been 6 years since he passed away, and the aching is still strong. My best memories of him are still with me, as he gave me a stuffed dog, books, shirts, a glass horse. Im sad to announce though that his dog, Felina had to be put down in November. She was blind with failing kidneys and had become immune to the medicine. My grandfather's last words to his daughter was asking her to take care of Felina. RIP Felina, Suzie, and Captain Eagle

:bawling::bawling::bawling::bawling: i must say that I am glad that some people remember him, as many believe that gunsmithing is a waste of time, and i am glad that his courses will be continued on in his memory.

p.s. I predicted that after the heart attack he would die, which depresses me, since i was only 7 when it happened, i could figure out that my parents lied to me to calm me down about death
