Yep, right after he got back from Tahiti, a magical place, before he regained his weight.

Aw shit, man. Pat Rogers died, of natural causes. He was a giant in the firearms training community. He was Rangemaster at the legendary Gunsite Training Academy for 12 years.

Here is a vid I posted here on Teh Cellah a year or so ago. Here's another.

A very entertaining guy.

He was a retired Marine, retired NYPD, and ran his own firearms training company, E.A.G. Tactical, for 27 years.

He trained countless soldiers, cops, and regular guys in the ways of the gun.

He leaves a giant, gaping hole in the military/law enforcement/shooting sports world.

RIP Pat Rogers.:blackr:

Walked in from cutting cleaning up a cut pine tree in my backyard to learn that Morley Safer had died.

Shit.

bummer - I grew up watching him. I liked him.

Mr. Ed's sidekick... he made it to 96.

Highly skilled.

Former Megadeth drummer Nick Menza collapsed on stage and died. He was 51.

So, it wasn't the amps that killed him but the ohms...

progressive jazz is bad mkay?

:drummer:

Ohms, ohms on the stage.
Where the frets and vocal cords play.
Seldom is heard a discouraging rage.
And the sky is bright light bulbs each day.

Daniel Berrigan, Jesuit Priest, died on 20 April 2016. He was so famous that he should have been on Nixon's enemy's list for accurately defining a fiasco called Nam. Even I could not get on that list. But then I was not trying to save the world.
