I was just informed of your fathers passing and I am sorrowed for missing his showing. Your father was a very likable person who I met for the first time when he was looking for Woody (known as our neighborhood chessy). Woody would get loose and visit frequently. We would get a hold of your dad or just take him back to the camp. Actually Woody was the reason that I later got my own Chesapeake Bay retriever.
I would usually see your dad while passing by his camp during a hike or during hunting season. We would talk about the outdoors and his progress on whatever he was building. He would also talk about his medical conditions and that he must have 9 lives. I saw your dad a couple years ago while he was at the manner, but I don’t think he remembered me. One thing for sure, is that I will always remember your dad. May he rest in peace along with your mother.
God bless, Bill Gardner
