This was a fun day, shooting nothing but large-frame and SuperMag Dan Wessons.

All 4 SuperMags are in the bottom section of the gun case, while the top holds a 741-SRS prototype and a 744-VH10.

I'm Dean's wife, Marilyn, just trying to read up all that Dean wrote after he sadly passed away from Lymphoma cancer on December 7, 2020.

 

I'd like to mention (for clarification) that those two photos that Dean posted at the top were not of (from) May 11, 2020 day at the range shooting.

 

He was too weak, using a walker and wasn't able to get out of the house.

 

I looked at our personal photo files of the Dan Wessons he owns and found that he took those photos on September 2, 2005 at the range.

Thanks Marilyn- good to see you on the DWF!  I guess he was just reminiscing about the good ol' days...

Thank you.

I'm very sad that he had cancer and passed away.

It's been very hard every day, since he passed 12/7/20.

I am sad to hear about Dean's passing.  Him and I crossed paths on a few gun forums and we recognized each other, joked about it, and continued to have a good time enjoying our shared passion for firearms. 

The date of Dean's post makes no difference at all, he was simply sharing some pics of his (fantastic) Dan Wesson collection.  We all admired his fine tastes in revolvers, no one can say that weren't just <---a little---> bit envious of his great tastes and collection. 

Please do us a favour - do not sell his guns for what he told you he paid.  🙂  He amassed a small fortune, in the times when our guns were much more affordable but now suddenly rather pricey.    May you forever smile in his memory, it is truly the testament to a life well lived.

Take care and Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, whichever floats your boat.

Thank you.  Merry Christmas to you also.

 

I know Dean has a lot of valuable guns that are worth a lot more than what he paid.  I'm going to try and get what Dean thinks they're valued at.  Yes, he did have a small fortune in his guns.

 

Down the road sometime, it will be easier to just smile at our memories, but not at this time, this soon after he passed away.  It's been very difficult for me.  I'm deeply saddened with the loss of Dean.

 

Marilyn
