Have many fond memories of fishing and hunting with this great man. He was one of the hardest workers I have ever been around. He will be missed. Love you brother!
When I got married, pamela and raymond hosted a wedding luncheon on their farm in the ramada by their house. It was beautiful and it was a generous lovely gesture of love and over the top. They paid for everything and supplied everything and cooked everything and set it all up. Afterwards they cleaned up everything. It was a gift of great love and generosity which I will always remember and treasure.
