I met Denny when he had a shop in Rochester in the 80’s. I didn’t know him well but he made his mark in the community.

I saw Mass at the Rochester McDonalds on April 29[SUP]th[/SUP]. I bet he was in town to visit his friend.

What a loss. Not only to the gun community but, no doubt, to those the knew him as friend or family.

I gasped out loud when i read the title.
Never met the man but i respect his legend.

I hope he passed on on his wisdom to his following generation.

Rest in peace sir.

As young men in Rochester we used to go out in the fields and take turns
Throwing clods of clay dirt in the air and drawing our 29’s from our real leather holsters and busting them in mid air. Kids don’t try this at home. Denny was the first shooter to introduce me to buckets of ammo rather than boxes. Jack Daniels on my bar and 2400 on my bench. Don’t get any better than that.

Denny Reichard, a great raconteur, rest in peace my friend. I had the pleasure of knowing Denny many years and bought a few S&W revolvers from him and, of course, had him work his magic on all of my S&W revolvers over the years. My son and friends and I went to Denny's ranges to shoot steels and then shoot the BS with Denny for hours on end. Denny would often come out and do some trick shooting for us and we were always amazed at his shooting abilities. My son and I also had the chance to go Chukar hunting with Denny several years ago and it was one of the greatest hunting experiences I've ever had. Denny, ever the commentator, would "provide feedback" for each shot we made during the trip. The laughs were long and joyful and Denny was a blast to be with during our hunt. Denny will be and is sorely missed. I hope he gets to meet Messrs. Smith and Wesson up in the great shooting range in the sky and enjoy each other's company. Rest in Peace Denny, Rest in Peace.

Denny Reichard was a cool guy. I didn't get to shoot much at Sand Burr because I've been away from the state for most of the last 15 years. But when I've been around I enjoyed stopping by his place.

The last time I called the phone number for Sand Burr, the recording said they're closed for good -- at least for now. That's too bad -- it was a good place to shoot and I hope maybe someone will re-open it some day.
