His dad was a major figure in the firearms field; hopefully there is a son or daughter with the same mettle.

AFAIK, sadly, there are no longer any Ruger family members involved with Sturm, Ruger & Co.

Sorry to hear this, Pete. I don't know what manner of man he was, but hope he went home in grace and forgiveness -- all any of us can ask for.

Very sad news. Shame none of the family is left in the business.
