Please accept our deepest sympathy on the death of Gator.We met Gator thru Sam.They were friends for so many years it seemed like Gator was family.

The first time I ever went deer hunting was with Gator and Uncle Herbert in the Ocala National Forrest,that was along time ago. I still remember it like it was yesterday, what a good time and good memories,Gator will be missed.
