Gentle people,

Some of you may remember my father, Doc52, who came to a number of DRSS hunts a few years back. Today he passed away due to complications from pancreatic cancer. He was my dad, my friend, my hunting buddy and a great pappy to his two grandsons. He taught me how to hunt, shoot and reload. It will be hard without him in my life from now on.

So sorry for your loss. But it sounds like you have many great memories to help you through this sad time.

In the end, all we really leave behind is memories, sounds like your Dad did well.

Hey Paul,
I am sorry for your loss. I really enjoyed being around your dad...he and I shared some good times together. He was a beast...an not anyone I would want to get cross with.

He will be missed.

My condolences Paul. Rusty sent around a note letting some of us know of your loss a day or so ago. You have experienced two significant losses since I have known you on AR. That is too much for someone your age. I will keep you and your children in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you are otherwise doing alright.

Paul I too will miss your dad, he was a standup guy, and was a person anyone would like! I enjoyed hunting with him at 4K, and as Mike says you have suffered two losses in the last few years, and that must be hard for you and your kids. RIP Doc52 I for one will miss you friend!

Paul, very sad news indeed! I'm happy to have had the privilege of sharing camp with your Dad and yourself. As mentioned above it sounds like he did a fine job as a father and grandfather with many great memories for you to pass on. What short time I was around you both it was obvious yall had a wonderful relationship. I'm deeply sorry for your loss.

Just seeing this after a trip abroad. So very sorry to hear this, really enjoyed getting to know you and dad. Lost my dad a year ago so it's very present on my mind the kind of loss this is, even when dads have led long full lives. bob
