Read MoreSo sorry to find this. When I found it was my friend, John, my heart sank. I know this is years late, but I had to reach out to you. I will never forget the times John and I had during the years I helped the John Deere team at the grass drags. I was so glad that I could see John and Sharon at the Sinissippi TrailHawks anniversary party. You both will be in my memories forever.

The man who taught me turkey hunting
I will miss spending time with John and Sharon on their property. Turkey hunting with him under a robins egg blue spring sky and coming back to the house to sit on the porch rockers , sip beer and talk about nature. A lot of my passions for the outdoors was fueled by John. I will miss him.
