Gringo was my friend and mentor in the cowboy world, and we enjoyed our time spent travelling the county side going to different ranges and having a blast. I always looked for him and I now pass on what he taught me to the new generation of cowboy shooters coming through, I am sad that he has passed but I am proud to call him my friend.
