Cooper T (Chauncey Toombs) passed away

Addison Funeral Home

would you mind signing the guest book

How can I get the word out to the paintball community?

Chauncey Toombs Jr will be keeping the Cooper T website up and running.

He has his fathers inventory, so Cooper T products will be avail for the time being.

his temporary email address is teresa8875@embarq.com

Chauncey E. Toombs II, age 65, of Angola, New York, died Tuesday, August 14, 2007 in the Erie County Home, Alden, NY. Chauncey is the loving father of Kelly ( Lisa) Toombs of Utah and Chauncey (Theresa) Toombs of Texas. He is also survived by 5 grandchildren and 2 greatgrand children. Friends are invited to attend a Memorial visitation on Thursday, August 23, 2007 at the ADDISON FUNERAL HOME from 6:30- 7:30PM
I copied this over from MCB's forum. For many here will not be familiar with Cooper T products or Chauncey Toombs. His was one the greatest innovators in paintball products from the early days. Some of his products are now made and used in many of our paintball equipment then and now. I have had the opportunity to talk to him many times over the years and he was one of the easiest people in the industry to talk to. His products were/are great and he always stood behind his work. Chauncey will be greatly missed. Please follow the link below and sign the guest log to help show how much he ment to the PB community and that he will be missed.

Definately a loss to the paintball community. For those that don't know anything about him, he had every bit as big an impact on paintball in his time as Tom Kaye and Bud Orr.

My thoughts and prayers to his family. I still have several of his products in use today from the early 90's. A true pioneer.
