Not sure where to begin. So many great memories that we will always treasure. I write this on September 1 which was the foundation of great times. Opening day of Dove Season. Frog we will always treasure your smile and happy demeanor. Truly a great man. Heaven has gained a treasure. Pic is from August 31 2014 with my son. God Bless. Dale
