Thanks, he was a good person. One story he told was of a 8 gauge L.C. Smith Grade 4 that was at an auction. He went to the auction and was looking at the gun and one of the auction people said to him "are you going to bid on that gun", he reply was "no I am going to buy it". He did and this Grade 4 was only one of two made, and he owned the other one. Both are consecutive serial numbered.
