In memoriam - My friend Baz has passed away

[Dr Ray]

My friend, Baz, has passed away after complications from an open heart operation (stemming from Golden Staph infection in the heart valves).

Baz had 1 open heart op late last year. He passed on Sunday 4th March 2023 after his second open heart operation. He gave me my Ruger 77 Mark 2 rifle in 25/06 which I'm taking to Tasmania for a fallow deer hunt next week.
I also used his Weatherby 460 many years ago.

Very sad!

Sorry for your loss, @Dr Ray Make sure you make your friend, Baz, proud when you use that 25/06 in Tasmania.

Sorry for your loss, but 25/06 will keep his memory alive. He will be looking down with a smile.

I am so very sorry for your loss. You have my deepest sympathy. The loss of a dear friend takes a piece of our hearts with them when they leave us. Sue

The wonderful thing about a departed friend's or relative's gun is that we have a continuing connection to them. Whether hunting that deer, or sitting up with it and an oily rag while sipping a single malt, death seems no quite so final.

You have my sincerest condolences, but I suspect he will not be far.
