This is Mrs Whitetail. I know Ron checked and contributed to this board often for over 15 years, so I wanted to let you all know that he passed peacefully on Saturday Sept 2. He had pancreatic cancer for 18 months, and while it is usually a very slow and painful process, I take comfort that he was in the woods Friday, was stricken with a complication at 10pm Friday night, and passed at 1:23 pm on Saturday. We were blessed in the way the end played out. Thank you all. I am not going to be logging back in (took me long enough to figure out how to navigate this board). Love, Peace, Boolits.
