    Sterling was one hell of a guy. He was always there to help a brother/sister in need. He was genuine, witty, and generally a good person to have around. His relationship with the lord showed through his grace with everyone in his life. We need more people like him in all of our lives. As if all of that wasn't enough for one man - he could put out BBQ like no one else. One thing about Hicksville that I always looked forward to was him showing up with the grill. I only was able to enjoy his cooking a handful of times, but it was good enough that I still find myself comparing local BBQ to the standard that he set. Good BBQ, constant smiles, and a solid man all around - that's the Sterling that I'll always remember.

    I just noticed who posted the last comment on Sterling's thread. Couldn't leave it with a freaking idiot having the last word.

    RIP, Sterling, you're missed around here. I wish I'd had a chance to shake your hand.
    Man - I miss that guy. We had so many random calls to each other. Sterling was one of those people who always had your back.

    I was just thinking about Sterling. I never had the good fortune to meet him but, I miss his posts and humor.


    A true gem of a man - and this forum - that is deeply missed. We spent many an hour in my "Outer Office" (garage), looking over 1911's that he couldn't buy, tinkering with a few 1911's and AR's, and generally enjoying each others company. My life is vastly richer having known him....and emptier until we meet again.

    Fallen Comrades......
