Alex, your dad thought the world of you.When we spoke last, i commented on the video taken at the G2G, and i could hear the pride in his voice as he spoke.
I lost my Dad a number of years back.He was alot like yours, avid Angler and a great outdoorsman.
I feel him with me also, especially when i fish.he loved fishing with a passion, and we spent many hours on the water together.
Be strong for your mom, but allow yourself to grieve, and know that you will never walk alone in this world as long as you keep his memory alive.
