Another one gone…

Y’all may have seen comments by ‘Skidmark’ here and on other gun blogs. Sadly he’s passed away. Skidmark was Paul Henick, and he was a long time member and supporter of both VCDL and ODCO. Paul was always willing to step up, and did quite a lot in the Virginia gun activist community.

Sadly, I only met him once, but found him to be a true gentleman. If anyone is close, there will be a memorial next weekend-

Celebrating Paul Henick

Planning for this “Celebrating Paul Henick” event has been finalized, save a few details.

When: Saturday, June 4th beginning at 11:00am

Where: Deep Run Baptist Church, 10907 Three Chopt Road, Henrico, Virginia 23233 – in the Fellowship Hall, directly behind the church.

It would be nice if a number of people would be prepared to take the podium and share one or two stories about Paul with us.

This gathering of his friends will have food & beverages provided (no alcohol) at the same location.

Yes, you may OC, CC, or noC, but please no long guns.

Please send an email to [email protected] with the subject line being “Henick event – #__ attending.
If you don’t get the email sent, come on anyway – just trying to get a rough count.

Rest In Peace Paul, and know that others are continuing to carry the banner.

  1. Jim, thanks for sharing this to a wider audience. He was in many forums always as “Skidmark”. He claimed to be essentially the only one with that handle.

  2. Crap! Good by, Skid, from your disreputable friends at the APS forum.

  3. Dang, I wondered where Paul went. We traded jokes and barbs on the “Armed Polite Society” forums after we left VA and the VCDL a while back. He was a good man and a good friend even though we were more “loose” friends than what most would consider “close.” Even so, Paul was kind and generous to his friends and could irritate the devil out of the rest but that’s what we liked about him.
    Rest in peace Paul, we are better for having known you!

  4. Lee/Speedy- I fell into the same category. Not close, but friends. May he rest in peace.
