A little story of one trip Junior took me and his son Cody on. One of my first trips to Montana we went Huckleberry hunting we found a nice patch and I was picking away. Junior being the prankster disappeared and snuck up and gave what I believed to be an amazing Bear impression. I am a city person and almost jumped out of my boots in panic!!! We had a good laugh afterward. My condolences to his family so sorry for your loss.

Marion always treated people with respect and friendship. It was an honor to see him weekly and hear all the hunting and fishing stories.
He will be missed dearly. RIP Marion.
