Passing of four Friends

Barry Sutherland  -  1948  -  2008

Barry was a long time member of both the Sayward Fish & Game and the Campbell River Gun Club.  He was the Junior Smallbore Director
 for many years  and trained a number of our juniors who eventually went on to represent Canada as members of the National team.

Barry was also a very accomplished shooter in his own right.  He won a number of medals in International Competition including 2 silver medals in
Commonwealth Games competition and competed in a number of different countries of the world.  He will probably be remembered by many people
as the  only person person brave enough to load up a van and transported our juniors to competitions all over the province. Trips they will remember forever.
He always taught patience, dedication and fairness to his athletes and lived by these traits all his life.

Ken Jones of Campbell River, passed away on Saturday May 27th, 2006

Ken was a long time member of the club and held various positions on the Executive from President to Executive Range Officer to Junior Director over the many years.  He was also a PAL and Core instructor in his spare time.  Like Ken Bennett, he spent many hours at the range, doing odd jobs ( many of which went almost unnoticed ) and was a tireless worker to get the new outdoor range facilities working when we were forced to moved from the Quinsam Rd location

Jan. 15, 1926  -  May 27th, 2006

Ken Bennett of Campbell River passed away on Monday, February 16th, 2006. 

Ken was a long time member of the club and was seen regularly at Black Powder events.  He held numerous
Executive positions with the club and a lot of his work went almost unnoticed as he regularly visited the outdoor
 facilities and did little jobs to keep the place in order. His commitment will be missed
 

 Charlie Gilbert of Quadra Island British Columbia, passed away on Thursday, November 10, 2005.

Charlie was a life time member of the Campbell River Gun Club and for most of his life was active in the shooting sports
as a coach, manager and official, both locally and internationally. He was one of the founders of what is now the
BC Target Sports Association and a many times executive member of the club.

His guidance will be missed
