A man I have known almost 35 years. He was one of the first guys I met when I came up to my Brother in laws house to hunt. He was a big guy that farmed, had a construction business and had every piece of heavy equipment you could imagine. My eyes were always wide open and my ears perky as he would hold court with the local guys that hung around his garage. His house and land was always open to me and every once in a while I would catch him for a cup of coffee just the two of us, it was memorable. I have harvested some of my biggest deer from his property. He comes from a long line of decendants in Schuyler county, has a wonderful family and he will always have a special place in my heart. He is battling multiple complications in the hospital right now. Prayers needed please…..thank you.
