    That is very sad news; he will be missed not only by Crosman enthusiasts, but by the Airgun community in general.
    R.I.P. Dean.

    A great loss to us all. but particularly to American air gun enthusiasts who was always generous when sharing his wealth of knowledge.

    That came as a real shock, and very sad news to hear. His great historical knowledge of airguns will be very much missed, but his many writings will live on as his legacy.

    Very sad news indeed - Dean was a valued member on this site and was always prepared to help with questions on Crosmans in particular.

    His several books on the subject are the standard work on the subject and a fitting tribute to one of our own.

    Our sincere condolences to Dean's family.

    John and Jo.

    Terribly sad and unexpected news. Dean was one of the real good guys in this little world.

    My sincere condolences, obviously, and, if it is not inappropriate, my hope that his vast historical archive will not be cast to the winds but will be acquired by someone similarly dedicated and enthusiastic who can carry on his work. I think he probably would have wanted that.
