In Memory of Jim Crillo

Last Friday I learned that Jim Cirillo was killed in an auto accident on Thursday, July 12, 2007.  I was saddened by this news for we have lost another of the good guys who was sharing his knowledge by teaching others.  Jim was the author of Guns, Bullets, and Gunfights: Lessons and Tales from a Modern-Day Gunfighter and the instructional videos Jim Cirillo: Modern-Day Gunfighter, Everything You Ever Wanted t Know About Gunfighting by a Guy Who Put His Life on the Line to Find Out and Secrets Of A Master Gunfighter, Jim Cirillo’s Advanced Guide to Combat Shooting and Gunfight Survival.

I remember a couple of years ago when Jim and Mas Ayoob were up here in Montana teaching a class.  I was visiting with the two and I commented to Jim how he reminded me of my father.  I had witnessed him helping a young boy who’s father was a police officer that took the course.  Jim was instructing the boy to keep both eyes open as he sighted his handgun.  I told Jim I remembered my father telling me the same thing when I was young.  Jim replied, “That’s because he was a shooter.”

Jim shared his knowledge with many people and he was a fun and cheerful person to be around.  It is unfortunate that we lost him.  He was one of the good guys.  He will be missed.  May he rest in peace.
