The Passing of One of our Own
I found out today that James Kitching passed away on April 24th. Many of you may not know James by name but he has run the Fun Supply website and sold good quality airgun and equipment for years. Most of you would probably recognize his airgun forum which has been affectionately known over the years as the Yellow Forum.
I did not know James personally but I have had many dealing with him over the years and he was alway and honest gentleman in our dealings. He was one of those guys that if he told me that he was going to do something you could take his word on it and he would follow through on it.
James and I shared one thing in common, we both have websites that are there for the use of the airgun community. With that came headaches common to those who host websites. James forum filled a void that was left when the Airgun Letter forum left the web. I purused his forum almost daily, it is a easy to read forum that sometimes gets heated but is usually interesting reading.
Death is a part of life and I hope that with the passing of James that someone close to him will continue his forum in his honor. My condolences go out to Jame's family, his friend and loved ones in this time of loss.
