It came back with vengeance. 20plus year cop and soon to be new grandad to 2 grand babies. They just broke the news about the one, so not even sure he knew. 2 adult kids, but the one I know the best is his 4yr old who is friends with my granddaughter. I cry for her. Mortality check as he died the same age as me at 50. Sorry to pour this out on Christmas eve. Spend time with your families and appreciate it. His last wish was that the night that he dies that everyone take a shot of Fireball. Here's my tribute. He was my camping, cigar smoking buddy. Sorry, no knives in the pic. He was a hard core conservative and the FJB was his thing, so... Attached File

Thanksgiving day of 2019 he wound up being Life Flighted back up to Mayo's and was just barely able to keep him alive til Christmas and he passed just a few days later. Part of his life insurance was to be donated to them and they named a room after him. My dad had stage 4 lymphoma 18 years ago. The Dr said if we don't kill this, it will kill you, period. Mayo gave him an experimental stem cell treatment. He gave me a bunch of deer sticks from his most recent kill yesterday. If something serious happens, Mayo is THE PLACE TO GO. 100%. The last few years he was alive, they had given him some experimental drug that was looking like it was the path to killing Hep and did very well for him.

I was able to go up with our dog (his grandpup, they were inseperable) and they let me bring him in to hang out for a couple days. |

His last wish was that the night that he dies that everyone take a shot of Fireball. Here's my tribute. He was my camping, cigar smoking buddy. Sorry, no knives in the pic. He was a hard core conservative and the FJB was his thing, so...https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/48347/20221224_214758_jpg-2647919.JPG View Quote Our friend down in Texas who is in her thirties and been fighting skin cancer for 4 years was just told it is end of the road, maybe a couple months left.
