I just read a nice tribute to Alain Lefol, who passed away from pancreatic cancer on March 7th. He was 74. Few modern day PH’s were more adventurous in hunting places off the beaten track and in some difficult, dangerous locales. May he rest in peace and his family take comfort in the legacy he leaves behind. | ||

Hate to hear... condolences to his family. Now in the far green country, under a swift sunrise. On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

I am sorry and sad to hear this. May he rest in peace and his family find solace. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Bloody hell. Truly a man amongst men and as hard as nails. An adventurer and an old-time PH who was famous in our hunting industry. He was a Foreign Legionnaire and fought in many of Africa's conflict areas in his spare time. Without a doubt one of the toughest characters to hunt Africa. Sad.

Very sad to hear this. As a young man fresh out of school I had the honour to be in camp with the legends Rupert Van Der Reit,Ron Van Heerden and Alin Lefol all at the same time. Now all gone. May Alin's soul rest in peace. | |||

One fact of life is: When pancreas cancer hits, you are DONE. No amount of money, drugs or surgery will save you. The world has lost another great one. RIP George "Gun Control is NOT about Guns' "It's about Control!!" Join the NRA today!" LM: NRA, DAV, George L. Dwight | |||
