Lost One of the Best

[idnative1948]

At 4:11pm on Tuesday the 13th, *trapper* (known by close friends) lost his fight with life after a heart attack early the morning of the 12th. Visited with dad on Sunday and helped him do a few things and had a couple of beers with him and talked about scouting for our October hunts. Had he been 30 years younger they could have sent him to the cardiac cath lab and had him fixed in 45 minutes or so, according to his doctors. Unfortunately his 92 year-old plumbing was like rusty old pipes so we followed his directives with DNR. Our family is suffering from a sadness that some of your may have already experienced in your life.
It won't be the same hunting without him and his wisdom this fall, but I am sure his bottle of scotch WILL NOT go untouched.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Nothing better than going hunting and remembering all of the falls you spent with your old man.

Condolence idnative. Must be pretty darn proud of all the wisdom passed over time. Prayers with your family and friends.
Each hunting season - I pick up a can of "Miller High Life" in rememberance of one who passed. My way of saying - hello.

It seems as if Dad had everything in order. He went hunting with us (as always) last fall at 91. I went out and had coffee with him the morning idnative went to visit. That afternoon he picked our Mom up at the care center and took her to our sister's for their Sunday dinner. We all got to visit with him one last time that day.

Sorry for your loss. He will still be with you in the fall you'll just need to look harder to see him. Listen closer to hear him. Rest assure the breeze on your neck is not always just wind.
