I just want to thank everyone again for the warm out-pouring of love, support and prayer. It means so very much to us! Johns injuries are things that are just going to take time to heal, so we know it's a long road ahead, but so far the Lord has answered our prayers and progress has been slow but steady.

Thank you again, and please continue to hold him in your prayers.

I imagine a lot of us that haven't joined the thread have John in our prayers also. I was glad to hear the good news from Beverly about him. Ken U

Beverly, tell John that there are a lot of people praying for him and wish him well.

Tell him to keep his eye's open for some nice Ithaca Single Barrel Traps and that I'm still waiting for my bright blue coat. He'll know who its coming from.

I just wanted to give another thank you to everyone for the prayers, messages, cards and continued positive thoughts for John. Recovery will just take some time, but everything is moving in the right direction, and for that we are very grateful! Thank you again!

Beverly, I just wanted you to let John know that I pulled out one of his vests that I use to shoot in years ago and I won single and doubles on Sat. and doubles singles and broke a 96 in the handicap in todays handicap winning the event. This should make him happy. Not much for praying but I do wish him the best. Trevor Dawe Calgary.

Trevor that's great! And to be perfectly honest, I'm guessing John would be much happier to hear about the winning and the great scores than the prayers :) Thank you for the kind words and wishes.I will be letting him know!

Please tell John he is in my thoughts and prayers daily. He has always been a great friend to me!! Sincerely, Dean DeBow

There are 69 posts above this one. But when you leave this thread, look at the number of times this thread was viewed. It's approaching 10,000 times. That's a huge number for Trapshooters.com. That gives you just a hint as to the number of folks that are concerned about John and your family. We don't all know just the right thing to say, but you should all know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

God bless.

Has anyone heard anymore about Johns condition?

John Storm, what can be said about this man? When my partner and I, Craig Duda who passed away in 2005, were just starting to get into the business of selling Shooting Coats, he allowed us to sell his coats and vests and was forever educating us in retail. Later on, Craig decided to make a coat of our own and John was happy for us. We did make our own coats and were in competition with John Storm! Now really, he had had the best coat, pants and vests for years, but he always encouraged us and we remained friends. We remained friends through it all and had many good laughs over the business. Beverly, tell John that I am praying for him and that if not for his generosity in educating Craig and I, we would never have had the pleasurable 10 years of vending that unhappily ended with Craig's passing. You are the best John and a very strong man with great integrity, gifted with that of gab and we love you. Stay strong and get well for your family and for all of us shooters and people who love and respect you. My best to you, Beverly, stay by his side as you always have and God help us, John will recover. Janet Fritch of CJ Enterprises, retired, and the late Craig Duda.

If anyone can turn a bad storm into a good one it's John Storm! Get well John, your trap family will be waiting for you as always! I too will ask the Man upstairs to send you back to Tucson again soon also! Stay tough!

It has been said bad things happen to good people,, in John,s case no truer words can be said,,A real good man,, in our prayers

I just want to once again thank everyone for their kind words and prayers, Janet thanks so much for the story, you know it brought rivers of tears to my eyes. John is remaining to stay strong and fight this like he did that little quarter left from post 2 :) Thank you again everyone, your words are so very much appreciated! Beverly

Beverly: As I write this my daughter is preparing for her high school graduation party (and I am in hiding). I saw that she has displayed, in all their glory, her high school shooting awards, AND her blue John Storm shooting vest. John's work product means more, to more people, than you can imagine! I hope that John is gettting stronger by the day. dju
