    I'm sorry to hear that, I've read some of his 38 Special stuff over and over.

    RIP. I wish I had a chance to say thanks for his contributions to reloading.

    A legendary contributor to the firearms world. He was a big influence on my reloading avocation over the last 40 years.

    RIP, Mr. Waters.

    I enjoyed his writing for so long. I learned much about reloading from him.

    Fair winds and following seas, Mr. Waters! Thank you!
