I could tell , from the few conversations we had had, that he was a stand-up guy but this story really blows me away about his character. Thanks for posting Seafire. RIP brother Greg Originally Posted by Seafire Originally Posted by Seafire Originally Posted by ilikguns RIP doctor Encore Greg was a stand guy. Willing to help out anybody with anything. Spent a lot of his free time passing on his hunting and fishing knowledge on to the local Boy Scouts. Our conversations always ended with him bragging about his kids and grandkids enjoying the outdoors with him. He will be missed! Yeah, I knew about the loss of Greg. Meet him several times on my trips back home to Virginia. RIP Greg... you will be sorely missed at my campfire my friend. best regards... and will see ya again, if I manage to make it up there... For some reason, wide awake at 4 AM this morning.. guess because I have one hell of a busy schedule over the next 72 hours. Just the last three pages, I have re seen names of folks I have known and interacted with over a long time here on the fire... Just reading of Greg, Doc Encore.. Just a little example of some of the people I have known here is exemplified with Greg as an example and representative of the type of people I've known on the campfire. Back in 2010, My son wanted to attend the 100th Anniversary of Boy Scouts National Camporee. Our council here in Oregon the price for that to attend, was about $3500. My son didn't want us to pay for that, but knew at 16 he could never come up with the money. So I bought up the suggestion about why not apply to go as Camp Staff, and suggested the rifle range. The cheapest ticket we could get was to fly him out of Seattle to Baltimore. He was to fly out at 10 PM, and it is a 500 mile one way trip from home to Seattle... So I drove him up there... We got stuck in Portland for 3 plus hours in traffic at the end of day rush hour. Then get him to the SeaTac Airport...The lines to get your ticket and then getting thru air port security, was slower than mud, and no one on staff at the Airport really gave a crap... I stayed with my son until he got thru Airport Security. I left him at 11 PM. to head 500 miles home. I had stopped at a Rest Area on took a nap. I got a call from him and he had been bumped off his flight because they had over booked it. He is busy freaking out, as this is a totally new experience for him and he's alone not knowing what to do.. Greg and I had never met, but I had his number and he told me to call him when ever I might need his help on ANYTHING. I called my son back at told him I had arranged someone to pick him up, when ever he got in to Baltimore Airport. Gave him Greg's number. My son was bumped off the next FOUR overbooked flights. When he finally got airborne, I called Greg back and gave him the flight info. He drove 60 miles to pick up my son, then took him down to my relatives home in Virginia, as the camp was not yet open for the Jamboree... When it was time for my son to fly home, my relatives called me and told me they had some sort of emergency and couldn't take Jonathan back to Baltimore Airport for him to fly home....my own darn family.... I called Greg and told him of the situation this time.... The Gentlemen tells me he is glad I called him. He went down and picked up my son, brought him to his home and then took him to the Airport in Baltimore for his flight home.... I use this as an example to not only show what a gentleman Greg was... We had never met at that point, but we had conversed over PMs for several years... Scouting involvement as a common basis...But Greg is a perfect example of the quality of folks I have met and gotten to know on the campfire over the 19 years I've been on this web site. it was a blessing to know the many folks, who are the types shown exactly like Greg's example... as I read the names on this entire thread of folks who have passed before us. Even if they were someone I didn't know, I am sure they are an example of the folks I have been blessed with to be able to know... Plenty of arguments and slander on these threads any more at the campfire is typical. But when push comes to shove and a member is in need of help, there is never a shortage of someone willing to help out with no limits. Even times like this. To Greg and ALL the campfire members I've been blessed to know and meet in my travels and time here, each of us are truly blessed to have the bonds we develop here, with despite all their faults, are the best folks many of us have ever known. to the folks who I have known who are no longer here, and to those that are still with us. I thank each of you for your friendship, and the blessings of having known all I have ever met.... Cheers and God Bless... “No one in hell can ever say I went to Christ and He rejected me. C.H.

While I haven’t made any close friends here at the fire, and have met only a few …..there are so many names within these pages that I recognize and enjoyed reading their posts/contributions. I only yesterday saw that BoggyCreekRanger had passed. I only knew BCR as a friend of Sonny or 270 whom I met many years ago. It hurts to read about the passing of so many that greatly contributed to the Campfire…..all are missed! memtb You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong." -Bob Hagel “I’d like to be a good rifleman…..but, I prefer to be a good hunter”! memtb 2024 |

I think the Campfire members I've met and looked up the most have been Gene, Blue, & Paul ( CCCC). Gene reminded me so much of my grandfather, who WASN'T from Texas, but West Virginia instead. MY granddad passed in 68, and was born in 1907. I loved to listen to Gene spin his tales. A Marine Vietnam Vet. I recall when we all got together at your place in East Texas for a gathering and we got hit by the tornado.... he was standing by the campfire telling us some of his tales. Everyone was laughing and as you passed by, you asked Gene, why did most of his hunting tales always involve taking deer at night, off the side of the road with a spot light. He never missed a beat and IIRC, he said that way you don't need to have a hunting license in your possession if you do it right. After that tornado touched down on us, stuff was falling all over the place out of the trees. The only thing that was damaged was Gene's old Dodge Diesel Pickup, when a big branch fell on it and left a big valley it in. His response to that was "For God's Sake! Wouldn't you know the only damn vehicle damaged, was the one that has no insurance on it!" I consoled him the next day and he told me 'its no big deal! I can go get one out of the bone yard for $100 and put that on there to replace the damaged one. It'd cost me a lot more than $100 for 6 months of insurance on that old truck!' I am proud to have been able to know Gene. He's a true treasure that are less and less easy to find in today's world. All who knew him a just a little bit lessened in their lives, when he passed. At least I can verify I sure am... Thanks again for letting us know this sad news. Hope all is well with you and Cat. Been missing you guy at our gatherings.. but I fear they are going to slowly die out if not now, in the very near future.

Getting to know the man was a honor and I will miss him. Always proud to speak his mind and stand his ground most importantly (imo) when that personal stance was a minority opinion. |
