RIP, Dad

[Pucky Freak]

After 38 years of battling MS, my dad’s struggle is now ended. Decades after he had to hang up his rod and gun due to his failing body his outdoor passion lived on through his eager anticipation of hearing family and friends recount their hunting tales, and through our many feasts of wild game. He framed and displayed many of my hunting pictures, and would proudly tell his guests all about his son, the hunter. I am planning a trip to the Yukon to spread his ashes and try and hook a couple lakers in memory of his favorite fishing trip that he took there long ago. We miss you, Dad. RIP…

RIP so glad you had many opportunities together. My son has a similar condition. It is my mission to cram every memory and experience in now while he is relatively strong and able.

I lost mine last year. I feel for your loss.

Have everyone you know that he may of talked to check their voicemail. Someone should have one from him. Hearing his voice again is a welcome pause to life’s challenges.

Sorry to hear about your loss, those pics are priceless. @Addicting is right, I have a voicemail from my grandpa saved and it’s sure nice to hear his voice now and then
