On August 23, 2017, we had a very long hard emotional day😢 as we had to lay our dad to R.I.P. It was a beautiful service.
I just wanna say thanks to Rev. Ronald Knutson, Brooten American Legion Post#288 & Minnesota National Guard Honor Guard & Hoplin Hitchcock Funeral Home & also the ones who had spoke about our dad especially his partner of crime (Gary Dibble). Oh yeah and thanx to everyone for coming out & being there for us also for the ones that sent their condolences.
Sorry everyone my brother and I couldn't go up & tell stories about our dad. So here's a little bit to share.
He was a hero, most loving, caring, stubborn kick-ass kind of man. Dad loved to hunt, fish, cook (especially his best damn chilli) build things as well as destroying things & liked to joke around.
Our dad had taught us how to hunt, fish, weld, auto body, work on vehicles you name it. Taught us from right from wrong, do’s & don'ts, how to forgive & love.
One year we were out opening deer season & dad & I were shooting the breeze by the old farmhouse until I had looked up & I had nudged my dad and pointed of course he starts shooting deer went down & he looked at me and said why didn't you shoot umm didn't wanna scare you. So then dad wanted me to gut out the deer so I pulled out my knife and dad said what are you gonna use that on I said the deer oh no he said that would cut anything & I said yeah it will Timmy just bought it for me. I guess the knife I had wasn't good enough so he whip his out & said now this is a real knife. Needless to say he taught me how to gut out a deer. Yikes!!
Here's a little trick my dad also had me do: you may look like you're out of place but hey it really works. When your out weed whipping the yard or land must wear jeans & wrap your legs in plastic wrap. Well you know me I would be out in shorts (ouchhh not so good) dad would say what did I tell you I had said fine I'll try it. So I went to put jeans on & dad had wrap up my legs once I had finished then dad would cut off the plastic wrap and see what did I tell you. Yup it worked no mess on my jeans😎.
There's a lot more stories I could share from getting Garth Brooks tickets (way back in the day) to catching snapping turtles (ohhhhh boy), out camping you name it. But wait there's one or two more I would like to share.
One day my brother and I were fighting & I mean fighting dad had told us to stop but of course we weren't listening so then our dad had gotten out one those old cast iron fry pan & stood between my brother and I & said if you guys don't knock it off I will use this on you, so what does my brother do he starts laughing (not a good thing to do) our dad looked up to my tall brother & said dammit it's not funny I mean it I will use this on you. Of course I took dad seriously because I've never ever seen him that pissed off before in my life😬.
Dad & Timmy decided to make salsa of course they kicked me out. But all in all together they had made the best damn salsa & it was a sneaker upper😉.
Well that's all for now 😎.
Dad, I miss you so much like you wouldn't believe, but this not a goodbye I'm just not ready but you'll always be in my heart and by my side & I love you so much always & forever & deer hunting is right around the corner & I know you'll be there right by my side (that there will be the hardest 😢). Opening deer season Jason & I will be sitting in your mansion waiting for that huge buck you were talking about & no worries I'll get that damn buck😎😋. Until til’ than R.I.P. dad always & forever 💕💕💕
