Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 SASS lost it's "oldest active shooter" last night. Blue Boy joined SASS in 2002 at the age of 83 . For 13 years he made Wartrace his cowboy home, shot at Possum Trot in the Smokeout and talked to every cowboy and cowgirl that crossed paths with him. At the age of 102 he crossed paths with covid and while he had no outright symptoms, could not shake of the weakening effect of the disease. He will be sorely missed by many in the sport he most loved. RIP Imis 3 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Blue Boy was my friend!! When my own father passed in 2005, he kinda’ adopted me. We carried on at cowboy matches, shared meals and entertainment, bedeviled Imis, and sent many a round down range together. He was a fixture at Wartrace! People from all over would ask to posse with Blue Boy when they visited our range! We actually had birthday parties on the 4th of July, his birthday! When I was so sick a couple of years ago, he offered encouragement as I recovered. He was always smiling and jovial with everyone and places he went were always a little brighter when he was there. He was a charter member of the midsouth branch of the Grumpy Lunch Bunch and will be sadly missed at our table. I hope that SASS will retire his alias. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 The object of life is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but to slide in sideways in a cloud of dust. Worn out. Used up. Yelling "YEEHAAWW! WHAT A RIDE" JHC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
