      A special thank you to Laurie, his hospice nurse from Affinity Hospice, for her compassion and care.

      I had a good life. I did all the things I loved - hunt - fish - trap shoot. I loved my buddies - they kept me young. I loved my wife, she was the best thing that ever happened to me, and my harem.
