    Hey guys just wanted to stop in and tell you that my dad passed away Thursday morning from covid. I was able to spend some time with him Tuesday when he was still awake and talking.
    We had a few good laughs and talked about a lot of things.
    He went pretty quickly but he was 77 and he smoked two packs of Kool filter kings a day since he was a teenager. I'm the Executor of the estate so my two brothers are behaving quite well. I'm really going to miss our fishing trips and all the things we did together. I'm going to keep the farm in the family for now, he had been leasing out most of the property for a long time so I'm gonna get a new lease signed so he can keep the farm going. I can't believe how quick he went once he got sick but knowing he was home until the last few days was what he wanted so I'm at peace with that.
    Hope you all are staying safe and doing well.
    Dan

    So sorry to hear about that. I was on a fishing trip yesterday and was really missing my Dad, who died about 7 years ago, and fishing trips with him. I had one of my sons with me and made sure to soak up every minute of it. Those will one day be his memories. Prayers up for you and your family.

    Condolences sent from my family to yours.

    Lost my Mom a little over 25 years ago and my dad will be gone 25 years in September. Still remember all our camping trips like they were yesterday.

    Cherish those memories and he will always be right there with you!
