Since my earlier post, I have now established that enfield303t (Don), who had not been active on here since Dec 2022, passed away in January of this year, 2023.
Both he and his son Cass, helped me reunite my dad with a Lee Enfield No4 Mk1 T, a rifle he had used in WWII. As a result, they became good friends with my dad and with my sons and myself. We met up several times during our visits to BC.
Although I felt that something was seriously wrong as he had not been active on the forum for over a year, the news of his death was still a shock.
