I’m sorry to have to tell you all that my brother Kevin O’Brien, host of this blog, passed away peacefully this morning at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston….

…We are planning a celebration of Kevin’s life for all of his friends some time in early to mid-June, here in Seacoast NH.  I will have details in a couple of days.  All those who knew and loved Kevin, including all Weaponsman readers, are welcome, but we will need an RSVP.  Again, I will make details available to those who write to hognosecommunity@comcast.net.  This is not restricted to personal friends of Kevin, but space will be limited, and we will not be able to fit everyone.  It will be a great opportunity to share memories of Kevin.

I hate to see another Good Gun Man gone Heavenly Downrange (or Beyond the Rim.) May his Family and friends be comforted in the knowledge he was respected by the community.

Note to Gun Culture 2.0: We are not getting any younger and the job is never done. I know some of you out there have the writing chops. Don’t believe that “Blogs are Dead” BS, they said that when I started almost a decade ago and I am still kicking dirt around and will continue till I kick the bucket.

Thanks to DaveP for the warn.
