We lost a member - Paul Vallandigham

[Bob J]

Farewell, Paul...you will be missed. Your family is in our prayers.

When the book 'Great 20th and 21st Century contributors to our muzzleloading heritage' gets written - his name will be right there among the greats.

PV - you'll be much missed.

Thoughts and prayers from over here from all of us who 'knew' Paul, albiet remotely via these pages, and respected his vast knowledge, and the way he put it over to a klutz like me.

Definitely a shock to hear that sad news. Seeing his picture made the news even more personal. We exchanged many e-mails and PTs. I respected his input and views. A personal loss and a loss to the forum.

Condolences to the family! I have always enjoyed his articles, he wrote about Muzzle Loading with a passion and I for one will miss him! RIP

 

[Blizzard of '93]

Paul was an attorney you know.
likely a very good one.
definitely 'had a way with words'

Paul was one of the good ones, will miss his posts greatly.

RIP Paul!

the muzzleloading family has lost a great member. r.i.p paul

 

[Larry Pletcher]

Paul strived to be a patient, helpful mentor especially to new shooters. This into be commended. Even when Paul and I disagreed, I appreciated his ability to present his argument with respect. His civility should be a model for our discussions. I also appreciated his PMs.

RIP, Paul.

Regards,
Pletch

Never met the man but read some of his posts. Seemed to me to be a nice enough guy that just wanted to help anyone with a question. Im sure like everyone he was'nt always right but its the thought that he was just trying to help. My heart goes out to the family and friends. RIP Paul

 

[leslie]

All of the above.RIP.

RIP Paul, when I first got into muzzleloading Paul PM'ed several times to help me get started.

Thoughts and prayers to his twin Peter and the rest of his family.

Friend when you get there tell Musketman,

Paul will be missed and remembered

If there are flintlocks in Heaven - and for Paul's sake (and many of the rest of us as well) I hope that there are - I'll bet that right now Paul and Saint-somebody-or-the-other are involved in a spirited lead versus leather debate. And that saint, whoever he is, has his work cut out for him.

 

He went out doing what he loved. I hope that my death is as good.
