He was a pretty cool guy. Not one to mince his words or worry too much about hurting someone's feelings.
A real "straight shooter" in more ways than one.
I've often thought the 1911 was invented just for him.
Hadn't heard the news.
Thanks for posting.

Here is the note from Ed Head at GUNSITE:
"At the request of the family it is my sad duty to report the passing of
our founder, Jeff Cooper. Jeff died peacefully at home this afternoon
while being cared for by his wife Janelle and daughter Lindy.
"There will be a private internment at Gunsite by invitation, with a
public memorial service at the Whittington Center at a date to be
announced.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family."

Go with God, Colonel... the gates of Valhalla stand open.
