that's a touching story. He has gone to the great icefishing lake in the sky.  Makes ya wonder how much time we all have left on our planet.

Reading this reminds me of my father. He passed away in 2000. Like my dad, I can see yours was an outdoorsman and I'm sure that he taught you many things about fishing, hunting, cutting wood, everything to do with the outdoors. It's great that you have such a good picture of him. When you look at it, I'm sure you can remember his smile, his laugh, and the ribbing he my have giving you for getting skunked. Dads are great, and are truly missed when they are gone. Like you said; always remember, never forget.

Thanks for sharing the pic and the reminder.  This Christmas break I'm taking my dad out for his first hard water experience.  Great way to spend time together.
