Dear Kurt and Family
So very sorry for the lost of your Dad. A good friend whom I will remember sharing some 40 years of Deer Hunting trips to Northern New Hampshire along with you as well as Uncle Joe. Those memories will always be with me.
I know now that he is free of pain and is now roaming the hills and pucker brush of the vast Heavenly hunting grounds.
