You were a best friend to Dad and Ryan is a great friend to me. We hunted, we golfed, we talked, we had fun and our families are connected in a special way. I thank God that you can be "Dan Dan the golfin/huntin Man" again and not have to fight anymore. You were a TRUE friend and I do and will continue to miss you. Find all of us a good pasture to hunt and set a tee time and we will see you when it is time. I love you, Dan.
