Rest In Peace. He was a country boy that did things his own way.
It was a bleak day, 14 degrees and snowing most of the day. 6 inches but a good turnout, all things considered.
And thank goodness for dirt country roads when the plows haven’t run! 🙂 Made the run back to town in one piece (all 30 miles of it)…
Sucks. What I knew of him, he was a good man. Condolences to his family both born and chosen.
Be safe on your travel back home.
I’m sorry you lost your friend – may the hole in your heart heal quickly and you be left with the good memories and not today’s sorrow.
Tole- Thanks. Back and safe!!!
Tom- Thank you.
I apologize for my ignorance, but was he one of your blogger pals? Would I recognize his name or blog?
CP- He blogged for a while as Farm Dad. Hasn’t been active for a couple of years.
Rest in Peace.
Glad you got through the icy wilderness.
R.I.P. Never met him socially but once talked to him at one of our sales.
Condolences to you and all who loved him. Saying goodbye is abysmal.
Looks like it was a good memorial, also read Peter’s comment, being remembered as he lived is the best way, good on you and everyone for being there.
I hate to see the gear displayed. It’s like rusty tools of a craftsman. That hat, boots and belt hurt me. I remember the saddle blanket on grandpa’s coffin, a tool he used till it was threadbare, so close to it’s owner, but not to be used by him again.
I buy old tools for use in my shop. I see the owners name, and I’m glad it came to me. I cherish those tools of the old masters. But they hurt me a bit too for the same reason.
Sorry for you loss
So very sorry, it’s tough losing a good friend.
Rest In Peace
Just seeing this. I’m so sorry, NFO. He was a good man. Please pass on my respects to the FarmFam.
