Lost a good friend today.

waterman · 01-21-2009, 01:05 PM

Just got a call from my brother. A good friend of ours passed away this morning. He went in for surgery on his ankle yesterday and died from a blood clot this morning.

Stayed at his place during deer hunting season for many years. Always had a good time. He was a big (and I mean big) man with a heart that was just as big.

Many good memories of him. He was with me when I shot my biggest buck. He always had to take the new guy out with him to show them the ropes of hunting in his backyard.

You will be missed my friend.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Prayers to him and his family. Those blood clots can be a thing that is not expected in something like that. I know, I lost my dad to an unforeseen blood clot the morning after he had prostate surgery 22 years ago. Blessings.

waterman, sorry to hear about your loss. Sounds like you had a great friend, the kind that would give you the shirt off his back or be there for you in times of trouble. My thoughts are with you my friend.

kawgirl · 01-21-2009, 07:48 PM

I'm sorry to hear about your loss.

Joel,

My condolences. That has to leave an emptiness that is difficult. I've heard that clots are a big concern during otherwise routine surgery, one just never knows. Another reminder to make the best of the good times when we have them.
