To our forum members, it is with great sadness that I write of the passing of Adam Faulkner.

I met AJ as I have met many you, via our business. After a time of chatting back and forth over rifle projects, AJ and his partner Hazel came to stay and hunt with us. We had the very best of times and developed very close ties. AJ spent a great deal of time studying bullet performance on large bodied Canadian game to help me with my research, Hazel also put in many hard hours. As a forum member, AJ was extremely supportive and kind towards other members.

Although he lived many thousands of miles away, he was one of my closest friends. With such an easy friendship and earnest nature, I cannot imagine the loss Hazel must feel. Hazel- tall, attractive, smart, a keen sense of humor and a quick wit. Loyal and loving. A crack shot with her .300 WSM.

I know, friends come and friends go in this world. Some stay with us for only for the briefest of times, others stay with us for longer. We have all faced it before and we will all face it again. As hunters we must surely understand that such things are natural. Yet in this moment it feels so unnatural to lose our dear friend.

To Hazel- all of our love. One hour at a time, one day at a time.

To Pat (AJ's hunting buddy), keep well my friend.
