Everytime I met the guy he was nothing but gracious with his time and treated everyone with respect. Even the time when I asked him to grab my beard and pretend he was going to hit me.
A story at the Shot Show he was at a urinal doing his busines, I am right next to him (being honest it was hard to go standing next to the big guy). But these guys walk into the restroom and yell “Gunny! It’s you I have to shake your hand, I love your work”. The gunny Finishes, I finish And we kind of turn to get in line to wash our hands. (Rember it’s busy so there are like 30 people packed into a bathroom big enough for 15 people). The guys walk up to the gunny stick out their hands to shake the gunn’s hand. The Gunny is so nice, he’s not standoffish even in that situation. Since I was behind the gunny in line, I loudly say well hell if we are swapping pissy hand shakes let me in on that. I put my hand out to shake the dudes hand and say, hey let him at least wash his hands guys. A bunch of people laughed, the dudes realized what they did, and left the Gunny alone. The Gunny turns back laughing and says were you real lying going to shake their hands? I tell Gunny sure was, by the way Nice to meet you again James the XDMAN, I would love to shake your hand. And everyone just busts out laughing. From then on every year I would see the gunny at the Shot Show he would always make sure to to get a really good shake in and a picture.
