It's hard to believe "Oracle" SASS# 4854 has left us. RJ and I were friends for many, many years after he and Barb moved to Alaska. We were like brothers and our "arguments were legendary". But at the end of the day were able sit back, laugh, and have a cold beer together. He joined the Alaska 49er's in the early 90's when it was a loose knit bunch of folks just shooting old firearms. He became a driving force to get the club into SASS. He was successful in his endeavors as we were able to get the club certified with SASS at EOT 98. Oracle was the 1st TG for the club along with holding numerous officer positions. He had many ideas of which having an annual two day match that eventually became the "Shootout Under The Midnight Sun" was one. You can see Oracles influence on the Alaska 49er's by visiting Ft. Birchwood with the little cowboys peeking over the walls, and Town Square at "Moosenugget Flats" at the Birchwood Shooting Sports range in Chugiak, Alaska. Oracle was a good pard, and a hard working waddi. He was loud, funny, a stand up comedian, gruff, friendly, obnoxious, sharing and caring. You could not ask for better man to stand by your side in times of need.

Oracle, I hope to see you down the trail.
