Snooky Williamson - still alive?

[Last Spike]

Just wondering if he's still around or passed away a few years ago.

Passed on in the late 90's if I recall.

I swear I saw Snooky the other day. He and Elvis were having a cup of coffee.

Sorry, but I'm feeling silly this morning and this was my first thought when I saw your post. I think Mr. Williamson died too young. I'd love to discuss some of his findings with him.

Weren't they sharing a PB&J, too?

My Brother has his book on "Winchester's". The big blue book that is loaded with loads & targets. He was quite a fellow.

he was an interesting character. i had long telephone conversations with him several times, after i got his book. also corresponded a bit with him. he was very pleasant to talk with, with neat hunting stories. i do believe he passed on in the 1990's.

He died of the big C in the mid '90's. I was told at the time he had a 2nd edition of his book at the printers, but when he died it got caught up in a legal battle and will never be published. Too bad, I would have loved to have seen the updated load data.

He came into FA in '91 and spend most of the day there. We spent quite a little time together that day, and I thoroughly enjoyed his company.

What a shame. Would have been nice to have corresponded with him on a number of the loads he worked up on various levergun chamberings.
