Lost pop May 19

[CoyotesGator]

Lost my guy. Dad. Taught me everything. 83 years. I have always tried to be as smart as him.
Rough and tough on the oil fields. Quick and as perfect on the set.

The only time I got even close to as good or quick is when he got close to the end.

There are times I think I am darn good solving problems in the field. Pop smiled.

Dad was taught how to fish by his dad. I was taught by my dad. I can tell some stuff, happy stories, cold days, van doors frozen shut, I ain't sticking my hand in that cold water, a catfish that somehow won a fishing tournament at Toledo Bend.

Anyway. Love yall my friends.

Huge heavy-ness! Mr. CoyotesGator, you have my most sincere condolences in the passing of your Dad. I would love to hear more about that “catfish that somehow won a fishing tournament at Toledo Bend.”

@CoyotesGator
Consider yourself very fortunate that your Dad lived to the age of 83 and that he taught you well, and you learned from him.

I wish that my Dad hadn't had suffered two heart attacks and a stroke at the age of 42, paralyzed and relegated to a wheelchair for 13 years, and subsequently suffered a fatal second stroke at the age of 55.

You are indeed fortunate!

God Bless
