Gene Sears RIP

[Dorkus]

I received an email that Gene passed away yesterday morning. For those that do not know him, he owned Gene Sears Supply in El Reno and I think it has been there since the earth cooled.

I have bought several guns from his store.

Just a FYI.

What? Oh no. Prayers out for his family.

Been there many times. RIP. He was always a nice guy. Wife is too. I'm pretty sure his son is mostly running the place now.

Yep, I am a member of the OTSA and they sent out an email early this AM.

Edit: It was actually sent late yesterday after I hit the sack.

Terrible news. I enjoyed talking with him when I would go in for reloading supplies.
Prayers will be sent to the family.

Great guy. He could break a few clays on the trap range too.

RIP.

I always enjoyed going in his store and looking at all the beautiful & high dollar shotguns........in his day he was one heck of a trap shooter and was inducted into the Trap Shooting Hall of Fame back in the 80's
