Little blessings. At the time we didn't know how special it was.

The fall of 2005 was the first time two of Jim's Grandson's could hunt. For my son, this has been a passion since he could walk. To kill his first deer.

During the early "doe only hunt" T.J. shot his first doe with Grandpa close at hand. T.J. went on to kill two more trophy bucks last year.

I have never seen a grandfather and father more proud. Little did we know at that time that, while it would be T.J's first year, it would be Grandpa's last year.

Never fear Grandpa, your legacy of the joy of the hunt will not be lost in this family.

T.J.'s passion is the same as Grandpa's.

Grandpa will always be putting on his bright orange jacket every deer season, watching over and keeping his boys and grandchildren safe.
We will miss you!
