I knew Cal from Relaoders Nest and the Accurate Reloading forums. I never heard him utter an ill word to anyone. A frist class gentleman and a class act. and very knowledgeable about firearms.

Cal, when I go hunting Wednesday the day will be dedicated to you my friend.

And yes the tears are real.

I never had the privilege of shaking Cal's hand, but I considered him a friend.
A fine gentleman with a wonderful sense of humor, he will be missed.

May I ask whoever speaks with his family to kindly pass along the deepest and most sincere condolences from the Hunt Chat administrators.

I can only agree wholeheartedly to the comments about Cal being a truly class gentleman. He will genuinely be missed.

Cal and I used to PM and e-mail quite a bit, especially when I was in Oklahoma and Texas, we kinda lost touch when I came back to Germany.

Hell of a man, and a stand up guy, I will truly miss him
