Bev, Sam & Desi.. i have fond memories of times spent at your house, esp those pasta dinners when i wasn't quite sure what game meat was in the sauce! One of my fav memories is of Mr B & Desi singing together in perfect harmony.
Find comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering and in peace. He will life on forever in your hearts.
There is a new member in the choir of angels. God speed & RIP.

Well Ole Budy we made our last hunting trip to SC a memorable one and we had a good time. I'm sure that those there will remember you and your singing as well as your ricochet shooting technique. I was looking forward to the Colt, but thoughts of you will always be with me.

To the Blasco family, I remember Anthony as being larger than life, and he had an amazing singing voice. Now he's in God's choir. May your faith give you comfort and strength at this difficult time. God bless you all.
