This past weekend, I lost me best friend and first cousin. He was 51. Hardest worker and best hunter I ever knew. Picture of a nice buck he got about 20 years ago, I'm in the orange. Fitting for this board I guess.  |

Did your cousin work and live in Ohio back in the late 90's.? He sure looks like a nice guy I knew that quit and moved back to Iowa. |

Gary, no, he was born, raised, and lived his whole life here in Iowa. His passing is going to leave a huge hole in the community too. There isn't a good brick mason around here now. He would take jobs fixing chimneys and things on roofs I thought he was crazy for.

Thanks, been a rough week. Will never be the same without him. Had supper at his mother/father in law's place last night. His son and college roommates were there, we sat and told hunting stories for a long while. I did most of the talking.

My condolances, Mike... sad to hear of another great one lost too early. I don't know how anyone else feels, but the too-older I get, the too-younger my lost friends become. ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem.
