Well we lost a member of rock slide. Seen this posted on monster mulies and thought I’d spread the word to anyone who might have been worring or wondered.

That is very sad. Knew him only from this and another forum, but seemed a good fellow.

Best to his family.

 

[Nickofthewoods]

Really sorry to hear that! I liked reading his posts he seemed like a genuine guy and true lover of the outdoors.

I enjoyed his photos and his tales of camp meals. Seemed like a interesting guy!

Hate to hear the news, thanks for posting.


No easy way for it to happen, tho I think Tony was at peace with it.



Dude sure brought photos to life.

He will be missed around here. Never knew him personally, never messaged him, but I have always enjoyed his pics and posts.

Well dang. Shocked! I sure enjoyed Tony here. What a gentleman. He will be sorely missed.
We always had to take high dose anti biotics while in Afghanistan as an anti-malaria drug. Got C-dif... Twice! Knocked me down quite a bit. My thoughts go out to you guys.
Condolences.

I liked seeing his “vintage” hunting and fishing pictures. RIP Tony.
