Default Passing of Ron Granger

It is with sadness I report the passing of Ron Granger. Ron was a Canadian member and lived just across the British Columbia border from Sandpoint Idaho. He was a dedicated collector of Parker and other interesting guns. He was 84 and in recent years his time as a mine operator in the Yukon left him crippled with arthritis and related disabilities

I bought several nice Parkers from Ron, as did other US and Canadian PGCA members. He participated on the forum and had written articles for the Parker Pages.

RIP, old friend.

RIP Ron - I never met Ron and never spoke with him but I have heard his name brought up in many Parker discussions. He was well respected and loved. - RIP Ron.

As a first year member it saddens me to think that I missed the opportunity to meet and listen to another great Parker member. Miss his stories of finds and the hunting stories I so love to hear from all of you. Dean and I kick ourselves all the time that we didn't get involved sooner but that is just the way life is. Rest well Ron for I hope we meet and I can listen to your stories.
