We lost Jim Findlay

[PDXGS]

I just got word that Jim Findlay has passed.
Godspeed Jim

 

[Foul Mike]

Too much information. Was he a shooter and/or a member here? FM

 

[PDXGS]

Jim ran a match called the Findlay Cup out of Wenatchee, WA
He also helped RO matches throughout the Pacific Northwest.

 

[Foul Mike]

Sorry to see he took the checkered flags. May he RIP.
Sounds like a nice guy. FM

You will be missed, not forgotten.

Back on original SH.com 'pre-scout' . he was ( Jim the Plumber ) .
He was a good shooter . went to a couple of his Findlay Cup matches and ran into him on a couple other matches, one he partnered with his daughter shooting .

I remember that name.
Couldn't place who it was.
Thanks for the heads up.
Godspeed Jim.

Tribute posted on FB (not by me, don't have the skills). Jim was a good friend for over 20 years. He got me started in match shooting, as well as probably hundreds of others. RBros Rifles got started thanks to Jim, and they are doing very well building very accurate rifles. He mentored so many new shooters, with time, guns and ammo, instruction, and patience. In addition, he ran the Findlay Cup for 13 years and this match laid the groundwork for the match climate we have today.
He will be missed.

I remember Jim the Plumber and it's possible I've shot alongside him and not known it... If he's from Wenatchee, then my, uh, wife probably knows him.

Wish the family the best, losing someone is just hard, under any circumstances.
