MeLoy Hewitt "Slim" Hart

I MOVED FROM CALIFORNIA TO COLORADO 6 MONTHS AGO. I MET SLIM BACK IN 1975 WHEN I LIVED DOWN IN IRVINE, CALIFORNIA.

As the one year anniversary of Slim's passing fast approaches, I think of him often. Slim's flirtatious jokes, the hugs, the handshakes, the way he talked to people, he was a real gentleman and cowboy. Thank God for Making This Fabulous Man.

I will miss you my friend. You treated me with kindness and fairness for the 40 years I knew you. I am still riding the Rios Bros saddle you bought for me. I am proud to have you as a friend.

So sorry to hear this sad news. I too started my horse "career" with Slim and Donna at Butterfield Country back in 1973. What a fun time that was. My prayers go out to you Donna. He was a one of a kind guy!

I am so sorry for your loss.

you were my hero and i will miss you so much ill always hold a special in my heart love ya your ornery niece debi
