I met Bill & Jo by chance at a Hotel in Fargo ND about 8 years ago and there was an instant bond. Talking about hunting and where we live in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada he was so excited to plan a trip up North to visit and take in Canadian Hunting. He made the trip and stayed with us for 5 days joining us for our Canadian Thanksgiving and having perogies for the first time. Lost his phone number and thought of him often. Condolences to his family. He was a very humble and kind man. Laurel & Art Whittington Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada
