Goodbye, Tom Siatos.
We are losing a generation of shootists rather quickly—as well as enduring the early departure of a few, like Dave Arnold and Gary Sitton, who died way too young—one from living too cleanly, from being too good for this world; and the other from living too hard. (And yet he was a magical writer, and a fine human being.*)

(For those who do not know, Thomas Siatos was the editor of Guns & Ammo magazine, and went on to head up Petersen's entire "Outdoor Group," which was quite the empire within an empire, and included Hunting, Handguns, and myriad smaller publications. These magazines are now published by InterMedia Outdoors.)
* I'll pay cold, hard cash for anyone who can catch my literary allusion this time. I suspect I've got you guys stumped.

Tom was one of the most remarkable men I've ever had the pleasure to meet. I think he might be best described as an epitome of "The Greatest Generation."
He's gone to a better place and left us the poorer in his absence -- but so much richer to ever have known him. I'll miss his fantastic stories and his more fantastic hospitality, his wit, his wisdom, and his wise council. He will be sadly missed.
