Former LSA Director Ray Asprion Dead at 81

Sad news reached us here at the LSA on January 22, 2018 with the passing of former LSA Director and LSA Life Member Raymond (Ray) M. Asprion, Jr.  Ray was a long time competitor in the discipline of High Power Rifle and was responsible for bringing many new shooters into the sport.  He was an enormous presence in the Louisiana shooting world and was a tireless supporter of Louisianians’ Right to Keep and Bear Arms.  In addition to his work for the LSA and shooting in the state, Ray was one of the original volunteers at the WWII Museum. In particular, he was one of the boat builders instrumental in the building/restoration of the Higgins LCVP, LCP (L), and the PT-305.

Ray will be very much missed and we offer his family and friends our heartfelt condolences.
