Big Iron Patnode SASS 60632 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Zeke was the President of the Green Mountain Regulators outside of Marble Falls, TX. He also owned the range where the club shot. He was a heck of guy. I remember going out there a few years ago where nothing but rock and dirt stood and he started pointing out what his vision of a club would be. It did come to fruition with a lot of hard work and efforts by Zeke and his friends. The camaraderie exhibited by the members of that club is what SASS is all about. The original members were the guys I started with and what drew me into SASS. Nada Chance. Bronco Birnbaum, Circuit Judge, Kettleman, Abilene, John Selman and the rest have lost a great friend today. May He welcome him with open arms. Big Iron Patnode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Zeke was a good guy...I was lucky to have had him as a friend for the last couple of years...terrible shame that he had to go so early in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muleshoe Bill SASS #67022 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I too was there at the first couple orgaizational meetings. Zeke, well, he was a man of his word, he had heart, he had a willingness to offer his friendship and to be a friend. Because of my work, I only got to shoot with the GMR a few times, but as often as I cold, I would shoot the long range matches with Zeke and all the other Sunday morning group. We who know Zeke are magnified by his friendship and diminished in his passing. The Lord has taken unto Himself one of the most rare of Men. God Bless you Zeke, and to his family may the Lord cover you with His healing love and amplify the happiness that Zeke created in those around him.

H.C. Sweettooth Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Singin Zeke or Joel will be sorely missed . He was an example of turning a dream into reality and the 110% he put into it. And his Dream was to have a Cowboy Club where the main goal was to have fun. You were a hell of a Man pard. and I will miss you. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Hand Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 "I can't find the words" seems so trite, but expresses how I feel. I like him and enjoyed shooting with him and all the others at the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Hacker, #60477 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 If you shot at Green Mountain and didn't have a great time, it sure wasn't Joel's fault. He was a true gentleman with the spiritual gift of hospitality. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grouchy Spike Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Zeke will be missed. I've enjoyed his company for the four years since he organized the Green Mountain Regulators, that time now seems to have flown by. Zeke and his good friend Iron Burner have been reunited to cowboy together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
