Well ladies and gents, thanks to all for your kind words and support and prayers. My father passed peacefully earlier this afternoon.
I am humbled and blessed and grateful. His last words to me were to call my name and tell me that he loved me. What more could anyone ask for.
So tonight there will be smoke and fire. And the finest steak that I can buy. And glasses will be raised. Root beer, since I don't drink. But my Dad loved him some root beer!

My Father!
Had the pleasure to finally meet up with TripleT today, grab a coffee, and talk jobs, knives, steel, stones, sharpening, etc. Best two hours of my day!
Always great to meet someone from this group.
Next time lunch is on me!
