we lost a great one

Never met him in person, but he helped me a few times by explaining what I was doing wrong. When I asked to buy a copy of his papers, he refused my money and sent them anyways. Such a great loss for the muzzle loader world.

rest in peace Dutch

When I was New here Dutch kindly answered so many questions for me. . . imagine the legacy of information Dutch leaves behind, because he was so willing to help others.

A legend in our sport! I never met the gentleman in person, but we emailed back and forth, he was actually humbled when I asked him to sign my copy of his accuracy book. He then sent me a few of what he called “ artifacts” of his days gone by. A couple of old porcelain door knobs( to make range rods) and a home made ball starter. I thanked him repeatedly and offered to pay for them or at least pay shipping.. he wouldn’t have it and sent the items to me. Thanks again Dutch! You will be sorely missed!

I am sad to see this. As with many of you he was helpful to me and I enjoyed a number of phone conversations with him. Always a gentleman, quick witted but also opinionated as many of us are about this sport.

My condolences to his daughter, family and many friends.

A sad day. His writings were very enjoyable and interesting. I conversed with him a little bit a few years ago when just getting into all of this. He was still sharp and funny all the way until the end. RIP

A great guy. Condolences to his family and friends. Spoke with him a few times and corresponded through email. He was always quick and witty with helpful responses. He will be missed.

We knew this was coming. Still, a great loss and hearbreaking news. I spoke with him several times. When my daughter was having surgery in St. Louis he sent her greetings and a nice gift. That will always be remembered.
