Re: Dean Grua
Our sport has lost another great guy. I shot with him in Bloomington, Indy, Georgetown, probably a few other ranges during IHMSA heyday. He was one of the guys I looked up to as I progressed in the sport. Sad to hear this. Prayers to his family.

Re: Dean Grua
This is Dean's wife, Marilyn Grua.
I don't know if any of you have shot with Dean and/or have photos taken of him in the past (since Dean got around to different matches and states, for at least 35 years), but if you have any, would you PM me using Dean's IHMSA80x80 username and email them to me please?
After Dean sadly passed away on Dec. 7 from Lymphoma cancer, I set up a "Dean" folder on the computer just for all things having to do with Dean.
I'd love to have any photos of Dean.
Thank you.
Marilyn

Re: Dean Grua
Dean was quite a guy, and even though I never met him in person, he was absolutely a friend. I'll miss his humor, great pointers, and especially the great photos of his impressive gun collection! 
Dean is the guy who turned me on to United Sporting Arms single action guns, which he has two or three. Me, I have two so far. Prior to "meeting" Dean, I had never heard of those great guns before. And of course, I blamed him for me spending money on guns I never knew I couldn't do without. LOL!!
We also have a small tribute to Dean over at the DWF; https://www.danwessonforum.com/forum/cu ... -aka-dean/
Because Dean did love his Dan Wesson's too!
