Peace to you and your family, sounds like he had you prepared to carry on. It is what we do as fathers, try to instill skills and grit to face the day that our children must live on without us. My condolences sir!

Proverbs 20:7 - An honest father is a wonderful heritage.
That’s what came to mind when my own Dad passed.
Sorry for your loss.

Sincere condolences for your loss.
You were lucky to have had a long and close relationship with your Father, as many people don't have one so long and strong.

It sounds like you had a wonderful father.
No matter how old they are, it’s always to soon.
May he rest in peace and you and yours take comfort in the memories and wonderful legacy.

My condolences as well. I lost my dad when I was barely out of college.
Be thankful that you had your dad for as long as you did.

That she and goat hunt with your Dad must have something. Good tribute Don;t know where to start but have to say he did his best to teach me to be a mans man. father ,husband, friend and a good person.
He carried me on is fishing basket when I was 2 or 3 years old to fish his favorite stream and when my legs were too short and my waders were short as well he carried me across the upper Rio Grand to make it easier to cast a fly being right handed.
He taught me to be kind to others and animals as well as to utilize them the way it was intended.
He taught me how to take care of what I killed to feed my family and to appreciate my family.
He taught me that family is the most important thing I would ever have in my life.
He was my dad, my friend, my mentor.
We hunted side by side for 13 days for him to get his first Rocky Mountain Sheep and 13 days as well for his goat
We fished commercially in Alaska for 7 years for us to afford our first African safari.
He was my friend and he passed September 16th 1 week short of his 91st birthday.
Hunt on dad, we will hunt again.
