Default SulliJr

Elkhunter11 just informed me that
Jack Sullivan ( sullijr on here) has gone to quieter ranges .
An Ex CAF member , he was member of RCEME.
I first met Jack in Fort McMurray but his father shot DCRA Service and Palma match with my family back in the day .
He was an excellent long range shooter and could read conditions with the best of them .
I hunted a bit with him and he attended one of the Pointer Parties as well .
Jack had not. Even well for some time with advanced dementia/Alzheimer’rs , and it is a mixed blessing to hear this sad news .
Good hunting and we will see you on the other side Sullijr!
Cat

I also met Jack at Fort McMurray. When I retired and moved to Camrose, Jack was the president of our range, and was active with the local cadets. I shot skeet with Jack, and hunted pheasant with him, before his illness. RIP Jack.

Never knew him, but it sounds like we have lost a good one. Shame.
