I was doing my usual blog visits this morning when I was blindsided for the second time in 2 days...Old NFO reports Newbius died on Tuesday. I am actually shaking while I write this and I am so very sad.
We were not close. I barely new him, but he was unbelievably kind to me. He took me shooting and he let me shoot and shoot and shoot. When we were done, I tried like crazy to pay, but he had a gigantic smile on his face and say "NO WAY. "I haven't had that much fun in a while." He gave me tips on how to be more internet savvy as he felt my personal safety could be at risk. He was funny and sweet and passionate. I will miss him.
He spoke so lovingly of his family, please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
I am sorry. Newbuis wasn't a frequent poster, but his blog was always a stop. He was a kind man.
ReplyDeleteOur community had lost a good soul.
*hugs Sweetie*
We sure did! Hugs to you.
DeletePrayers to the family. He will be missed.
ReplyDeleteMy sympathies, AGirl.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have the chance to interact with him, but know he is a well respected member of the Gun community.
I've heard the name, never got a chance to stop by his blog. But from everything I've heard, he was truly a man I would have loved to meet, well respected by all who knew him. He'll be missed.
ReplyDeletePrayin for his family.
I was hoping he and his family could join us for our get-together next week.
ReplyDeleteHe was such a great guy in every way. He will be so sorely missed.
Me too. Me too. He was always good to see.
Deleteawww man- that is sad news..he will be missed.
ReplyDeleteI AM sorry for your loss. Prayers and kind thoughts for you and his family!
ReplyDeleteI so sorry to hear of his passing. Sounds like he was a heck of a guy.
ReplyDeleteI did not know the Man, but followed his Blog. I can only imagine what the Family is going through. Thanks for posting your memories of him in "real space". The only comforting thought I have is this: "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." Ecclesiastes 12:7
ReplyDeletePrayers to the Family. And you.
