Great story and sorry to hear about your loss he looks like someone I would like to meet and talk with. I lost my mom in november and I have some of her ashes that I keep in a special box above my computer desk so I can keep a eye on her, but I am having a new turkey call and striker made and I'm going to have some of her ashes sealed in the striker handle and she used to wear a turquoise ring that I'm gojng to have the stone inlaid on the striker handle. just one more thing she can be along with me for !
