Thank you for this Gerry. It's surprising what a few pictures of seeing people out catching some fish can do for a guy. At this moment, there is nothing like seeing the smile of some guy holding up a fish or duck and it helps it to ease my pain.
I am the person Gerry is talking about and I appreciate his thoughts very much. It comes with the most difficult thing a father can say. My oldest son recently took his life. Many of you have seen pictures of him and I on here and heard our stories over the years. I have met many of you on this board, and there are many here that I haven't met, but feel like know you.
The wake for my son will be at the Stirling Funeral home on James Street tomorrow night, Oct 29th between 5:00 and 8:00. If anyone would like to attend you would all be most welcome. Please feel free to wear your favorite hat or camo coat as you please. My son would want it that way from fellow anglers and hunters.
I am proud of my son and we will get through this. My son will always be there with me while I am out on an Adventure. I can't wait to be posting some stories in the future again. As Gerry said, I do appreciate this, it helps while I am going through this hard time.
