   John Burns  passed

   6/08/1938-2/18/2012

 

We have lost another friend in archery, John Burns died Saturday Feb. 18th. after a long and courageous fight with pancreatic cancer. John was great friend, a man of his word and an unbelievably talented arrowsmith that is as well known for his straight arrows as he is for his limp which is another "arrow" story. Many loved John as Vince and I did, he will for sure  be missed by many. There will never be another like John, he was one of a kind, quite a character and was blessed with the most lovely sense of humor...

 

Bennie and Big John

Many of you already know that another special archery friend Bennie Harrington has passed after a VERY long and courageous battle to survive several surgeries with many set backs . He was a very close friend as you know to Vince and I,  passed away last Fall on September 16th 2010. His pal Froto died a few weeks earlier.  He was great friend and like a father to me - I can't tell you how hard it has been losing Bennie and Big John this past year.

Our very dear friend  Big John Wade passed away unexpectedly Thursday morning August 19th 2010.

He was a very good friend to many. A devoted Christian and great man who loved his friends and devoted his time freely to the things he loved, family, friends, his church community and archery. He was a great blessing to the clubs who were lucky enough to have his time and hard work one of which was TBC and the Chamberlain Event. We will miss him more than anyone can know. We are so happy that we spent a week  with him at his Traditional event in Mammoth end of July. We loved him dearly. We know John is happy in Heaven. We are the ones, his friends and family who feel the pain of his loss greatly. God Bless Big Guy...Cathy and Vince
