My dad passed away today.

My dad, "Hawkeye" passed away this morning age 80. He was an aficionado of muzzle loaders and Norton motorcycles. He leaves behind 2 sons ( my brother and I ).

He had a wicked sense of humour and a liking for the occasional dram of Jameson Whiskey or tot of fireball whisky and the occasional Guiness.

He liked to drive pick ups and was a fair shade tree mechanic. He worked at numerous jobs during his 80 years. He was an avid hunter for most of his life.

Lift a glass or a pint in celebration of my dad, for he is now in the great hunting grounds putting the stalk on a big bull Elk.
