Deepest Condolences to you, your family, and Tacfoley2's family.

 

Always enjoyed his contributions. RIP

 

Incoming prayers.

 

Tac was a well-liked member that made stimulating comments of interest. He has now passed to the place of eternal rest and no discomfort. We shall miss his posts and comments. Adieu to Tac, and much sympathy to his family.

 

Very sad news. May he rest in peace.

 

🙏

 

Sad to hear indeed. He had been around Gunboards for decades.

 

Sad….Tac will be missed by all, his experience and Enfield knowledge was a goldmine for the forums and now forever silenced. RIP soldier.

 

I visited him a few months back, on a trip to the UK. A member of that vanishing breed known as a gentleman.

He will be missed.

Deepest condolences to his lovely lady.

 

I remember years ago when I was PCS'ing to the UK and interested in bringing a firearm, he reached out to me to give me some advice. He was a wealth of knowledge, and will sorely be missed. Condolences to his family.

 

Very sad to hear, my condolences to his friends & family.

 

^^^^

 

Very sorry to hear that.
Condolences to the family and friends

 

Sad news. He will be missed.

 

Damn, that's a blow to the Gunboards community. Condolences to his family.

 

I was devastated to see this post when I logged onto the forum today.
"Tac" and I corresponded privately for many years and both of us, being artillerymen, had a strong common sensibility and fraternity.

 

Tac was one of the cornerstone members going back to the earliest days of Gunboards. A wealth of knowledge and experience, Tac was always prepared to share his expertise with anyone and everyone who had a question that required an answer. He lived an "old school" life of adventure that can never be replaced. Our condolences to Tac's Family. He's left a place in their lives that can never be replaced.

God Bless Tac and we'll see you on the other side my Friend.

 

Sad, sad, news. Sorry for his loss, to his family, friends, and all in this community that knew and interacted with him. He was one of a kind. Rest in Peace.

 

 

I'm posting this for Pierre St. Marie, who still can't log onto the forum he created.

"Leon, I would like to say that Tac was a relatively close Internet friend of mine for 25 years. He was one of those few that received a new product every time we put it online. Most all communications were emails, but I did speak to him twice when he was in Oregon. Other than Swiss rifles, his true passion was miniature railroads, I have some photos somewhere of his incredible collection, but those photos were in emails from something like 15 years ago so I'll have to do a search. I would say is that he was one of a very small circle of very close friends that I've had on the Internet for the past 25 years, and he will be sorely missed by the St. Maries. His sense of humor was dry, as it seems to be with most British subjects, but for me he was a true friend and I take his loss very personally.
God rest your soul, Terry.
P"

 

"...his true passion was miniature railroads...

Garden railroads - the hallmark of a good man.

 

I'm very sorry to hear this. We had some great dicussions about the Swiss stuff and reloading in general. For some reason I thought he was a youngster, like recently retired from the military.
Condolences to the family.

 

To those Old Comrades now Gone West
To the place where Old Soldiers take their rest
I'll raise a glass of Scotland's Best...

And hope to see them again, Someday
"Over the Hills and Far Away".
