        Sad news indeed. A salute to Major Culver............

        May the road rise up to meet you.
        May the wind always be at your back.
        May the sun shine warm upon your face,
        and rains fall soft upon your fields.
        And until we meet again,
        May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

                Prayers for the Culver family. I never met the man, but his military service, shooting contributions and unique writing style have done credit to his memory and remaining family.

                God Speed sir, Semper fidelis!

                  My condolences to the Culver family as well. I feel I owe him a large debt of gratitude for his military service and for this forum where his memory will continue on.

                    Very sad news indeed. He'll be sorely missed.

                      Dick Culver,
                      It is a sad day indeed to hear of your passing on. I hope that when I pass over to the other side you will sit with me at the table of my Fathers and I and enjoy or company. Gloria I am so very sorry for your loss and the loss to the rest of the family.

                            Condolences to the Swede and the rest of the family. I sure hate to see him go and his wit is sorely missed. I like to think he is with all his old buddies now, including ones that have gone before him on this forum. I'll have to make up some of his famous hot buttered rum for a salute when I get home.

                                I am so sorry to hear of Dick's passage.

                                His efforts at putting up these forums many years ago were such an incredible boost to the rifleman community and the efficient dissemination of knowledge among us. (And, of course, Gloria was the force that kept it all civil and on the right track.) All of us who have enjoyed and benefitted from this site owe him a great debt of gratitude.

                                Those of us who came to know of him through these forums have had the opportunity to learn much more of Dick's adventures and accomplishments than would have been possible otherwise, and we are all the richer for knowing of this American hero.

                                I got to meet Dick for all of five minutes a few years ago at Camp Perry. The memory of talking with him is what keeps flashing up in my mind when my thoughts return to having heard of his passing.

                                God speed, Dick, I am so glad to have known you.
