RE: A sentimental tribute
Hey Ryan,
As the years go by what is increasing clearer to me is that it is all about kindness and unselfishness and sharing.When you have people in your life that have have been that way you have had a real blessing! I am sorry about your loss! Reach out to his family to return the good things he brought to you and incorporate those good things that he brought to you in your interaction with others.Given the person you are saying these things is unnecessary.
I am sorry bud!

I'm not usually one to bring emotional types of posts here, but this morning a man who played a significant influence on my hunting wayof life passed on today and saying a few words may help me feel a little better.
Bob, my dad's cousin lost his fightfrom complications due to lung cancer. He was an avid hunter, and a good all around person. He took my Dad under his wing, and taught him how to hunt, and gave him that passion that got passed along to me. My earliest hunting memories included many times afield with Bob & my Dad. Whether it was spotting with that old homemade light, sighting in our rifles, or setting up drives during our PA gun season, Bob always had an upbeat personality and a story to make you smile. I got to hunt a lot with him during my younger years, but over time things changed and for one reason or another, trips afield with him became less and less. I'd still see him from time to time, andI was always eager to tell him about my latest hunting season. I could ramble on with a million stories of the little things he did to help those around him, whether hunting related or not, but I just felt acknowledging him and sharing his legacy with you guys would be fitting.
So as I sit here teary eyed, I just like to say thanks Bob, for being a part of, and an influence onmy hunting and outdoor way of life. You won't be forgotten.

Rybo,
Sorry to read about the passing of your dad's cousin. It's never easy to say good bye. Hold on to those memories and pass "a little of him" down through the generations to come. It would be a fitting tribute to one who did the same for others.
Godspeed Bob.......
