    Unhappy My Older Brother.

    I wasn't sure if I was going to post this or not. We weren't real close but we enjoyed fishing together and got to take a trip to Alaska in 2014 to see an old family friend and stay at his cabin and go fishing on the Kenai. In the back of my mind I was starting to plan another trip in 2024 to go fishing. I was hoping that he and his wife would come back up this summer and do some more fishing on Lake McConaughy.

    I didn't want to bring up the subject but his wife has gotten the police reports and we discussed a bit about criminal law and civil law. I'm waiting to hear just what is going on. I drove back for the services and funeral. I stayed a few more days to help out his twin sister with things he would do for her.

    Don't wait if there's something you want to do, you just never know.

    That is a loss, my friend. I liked the comments people who knew him made on the funeral announcement page.

    Words are adequate to describe the loss. Prayers for you and the family.

    The story about his death showed up on my national news feed this morning.

    Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I just have a hard time realizing that I won't be able to share time with him..
