                              GONE HUNTING

Remember the smiles and not the tears

For all the hunts throughout the years

Don't dwell on things left unsaid

Cherish the memories we had instead

Like the crisp mornings and dusky nights

A trophy buck within our sights

Deer camp with friends and family

These moments meant so much to me

When peace from nature all around

Was shattered by a sudden sound

I always hoped your aim was true And smiled with pride for all of you

So don't cry for me because life is done

Stalking the fields has just begun Come fall may smiles adorn your face Knowing I've gone hunting...

In a better place  - David Ritter

I worked with Rudi back in the day at the old Reider farm on Mineral Point Rd. He always had a good joke or a story to tell. Rudi was a good friend and I am glad I knew him.
