The Puffy hole in me still hurts, a lot...
He and I had our ups and downs, all my fault. For several months before he passed we had some very meaningful phone conversations. Hunted together at the Oct. 2016 HHC with the wife and family (son Wade & grandson Ty).
We both had changed over the last 14 years.
He was a combat Marine, my service in the Corps was peacetime, but still had that bond.
To say I miss him doesn't do it. Everytime I get on the forum I expect to read some of his posts, wise cracks, perversions (fake of course), etc. Might be why just writing this gives me that empty feeling...
See you in the next life Jason!
