Blackwater 53393 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 (edited) I sadly make note of the passing of Blue Boy, SASS #46773. He was the oldest active member in SASS and a true treasure to anyone who crossed his path. Father of Imis Twohoffen and surrogate father to me! He joined our organization in 2002 and was on the scene at the Tennessee State Match this last October at the age of 102! We are diminished by his passing, but we will find joy in his memory!

He was 89 and is survived by his wife, Aliette. Please remember him in your prayers. Joe is on the left and his friend Dandy Don on the right.

Blackwater 53393 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 (edited) by Randy St. Eagle It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that Charlie Bowdre (Preston Sweeney) headed to the last Round-Up this morning. Charlie brought Cowboy Action Shooting to Tennessee and founded The Wartrace Regulators, Tennessee's first SASS Club. He got quite a few of us started in this sport and helped guide us to where we are. It's been a few years since Charlie was able to compete due to health issues and I'm sure he is in a better place now.

If you've been to the range in Wartrace, you can feel how special the place is. That's what he did for us, without him neither the range, nor the Wartrace Regulators would exist. If you come to Wartrace and appreciate how you are treated, that's him. He showed us Regulators by example how to treat newcomers and old friends. He loved to help people get involved in this sport, and in life. Rest well on your new range Charlie Bowdre, and Good Lord Willing we'll posse up again some day! 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Kid Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 It is with much sorrow that I post the loss of one of our Mad River Rangers. Redwood Rose, aka Stephanie Casey, passed away on January 31, 2023. We are all in shock over the sudden loss of one of the bricks in the foundation of our cowboy group. Stephanie was a staunch supporter of shooting sports in our area and an active participant in many of the shooting groups here on the northcoast as well as out of the area. The Rangers spent many Christmas gatherings at Stephanie and Craig’s house, their door was always open and many evenings spent with good food, much laughter and the warm feeling of friendship. Redwood Rose, Rest In Peace, you will be missed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jake1001 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 It's with a Sad and Heavy Heart that I report the passing of Don Wright, alias McShagnasty. SASS #452. He was Shooting End of Trail back in 1985-'86-'87 as a Coto Cowboy before SASS was founded in late 1987. He was one of my best friends for the last 38 years. He was 81 years old when the Lord called him Home. He shot with Butch Cavetchee, Buford McHog, Apache Kid, and myself Big Jake. He Loved making Holsters, Spur Straps, Hat Strings, Shaps. Gun Belts and lots of Knives, both big and tiny ones. He had a Heart attack and was in Hospital for a couple of days. He came home for a month and passed with his family all close by at the end. Via Con Dios Vaquero. You will be missed. 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too Tall Bob Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Long time Arizona SASS shooter “Lefty Rhodes” (Ralph Roderick) passed away early in the morning on January 20th, 2024. He had been fighting along battle with a number of issues but now he rests out of pain and in peace. Lefty and his wife Angela were frequent visitors to SASS matches in Tombstone, Yuma, Casa Grande and others. Your easy smile and cheerful banter will be missed. Rest in peace pard.

Griff Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) I apologize in advance for being long winded… After 5 agonizing years, I’ll finally post an ode to my life partner, “Griff’s Girl”, SASS #14 who slipped away on January 29th, 2019 after a short but haggard battle with esophageal cancer. By mid 1986, after several months of being a “CAS widow” twice a month, she made the decision to join me on my forays out to the Coto Cowboys and to the West End Outlaws. 1st selecting the alias “Sly Di”, then, shortly after SASS was formed in 1987, she’d tired of it, changing it to Griff’s Girl and keeping that to the end. Sometime in 1988 we started taking our travel trailer out to West End on Friday nite before the monthly match with our generator and setting up to do the score keeping at the cowboy match the following day. Between her and several “gal pals”, they kept the lag between the last shot and finished scores from being too onerous. She had been volunteering at Coto each month to help add the scores up for each shooter due to her prowess on a 10-key adding machine. Her day job being an accountant. At West End she adapted a spreadsheet program to ease the data entry and spit out meaningful results. After we moved to Texas in 1990, she was instrumental in helping form The Lone Star Frontier Shooting Club, being club Treasurer for the several years. Each month she helped me load our target steel & stands for each match and unload it back in our barn with me that evening. For our first few annual shoots, she helped design the stages, and contributed to the story line for each stage, keeping to a theme for the entire match. For the last annual shoot she attended, she wrote the entire stage description, story and designed the stages. She handled all the registration, shooter check in, answered questions and generally gave the rest of our Board our marching orders. As the match progressed, she would come out of the scoring tent, shoot a stage, pick up its scoresheet, and rush back to continue inputting each shooter’s score. At the Saturday nite award’s banquet, I asked her how I did and was told, “I don’t know, I just finished printing the results, handed them to Dusty (MC for the awards), in time for him to get here.” (approximately an hours drive from the shoot venue… I asked how she did and was told, “I hope I’m in the top five Traditional Ladies, but I didn’t even look at the either the category or overall results… just stuffing the sheets in an envelope for Joey and pushed him out so I could change for the banquet!” She was the glue that held us together, the wheel that kept us headed straight, and the comb that kept us organized! Missed every day, and extremely thankful she filled our 48 years of married life with joy and love. Sometimes accompanied by a swift kick in the rear to help with motivation!

Throckmorton,23149 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Here's a hoist of a cool one to our very good Pard, Buckshot Pete. Pete passed away last year on Oct 6th, 2023. SASS NO. 12668 Pete was well known up and down the I-5 corridor in WA. and OR by hundreds of shooters of our game, and he was the friendliest, most willing to jump in and do anything Pard there ever was. Buckshot and i shot a plethora of matches together and he will be sorely missed by the Pacific Northwest shooters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder SASS #13056 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Griff, Lone Star is where I first shot SASS. Great times.

When we 1st started we invited everyone to write up a tale about their alias... and would print them in the monthly newsletter... or you could skip that and have Warlock make one up for you! Usually less flattering than one you might make up, but certainly more humorous! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
