I haven't seen Dean in a couple years. I knew he had some health problems but didn't know what they were specifically. My condolences to his family.

Re: Dean Grua
He was diagnosed with Lymphoma about a month ago and only given a short time to live.
He passed away yesterday, I think.

Re: Dean Grua
So sad to learn of Dean's passing. I had the pleasure of meeting Dean during my trips to the USA at the Crittenden Range in Kentucky. Dean was always so helpful with his knowledge.
The sport will miss him on the line. My sympathy to his family. Rest in Peace Dean.

Re: Dean Grua
Dean will indeed be missed. He was a fantastic small bore shooter and a super nice guy. He also wrote about the best introduction to shooting silhouettes ever. I asked him if I could repost his silhouette intro and he said, Yes absolutely.
RIP Dean.
Prayers to his family.
