Dan Opel

It is with profound sadness I am letting everyone know that Dan Opel passed away yesterday. Dan was a friend to shooters far and wide. He was a mentor to many and one of the guys you could always count on to be at a match and support anyone who needed help in this game. Dan was the President of the BRSC and a strong supporter of the Canadian World Team. So many fond memories it is difficult to know where to start. We are sure to miss him. Please keep his wonderful wife Sue in your thoughts and prayers.

I have hesitated to post fearing I would screw up a tribute to Dan.
Loading next to Dan at a Nationals I said that I had just shot a big one.
He later commented on this saying that's the last time I listen to you.
Wrong, Dan listened to everyone, all the time and had lots of cute comments.
