A very dear friend and long time hunting and fishing companion just passed away at 5:30 PM. I wanted to get to see him one more time, but the Lord called him home today. Please remember the family of brother Bill Rose from Mansfield, Ohio. His son Jerry is just like my own brother to me. Please remember us all in your prayers.

In Memory Of My Dear Friend.

Bill was a very dear friend to me. Treated me so that I felt that I was family. A great individual whom I will always cherish in my life. He taut me so very much through the yrs that I knew him.

I loved him deeply and will always remember the trips to lake Erie, the stops to get ice cream on the way home,the goggle eyes we caught together, the times that he didn't rub it in when he caught all the fish. The gapping Bill called it (Yawning) in the mornings and when we where so tired from getting up so early, to do what we loved.

The hours we spent riding and talking together in the early hours of morning just to climb into a stand and sometimes get a glimpse of the old biggin.

The fishing baits he gave me. The times he would lend me a rifle (Thunder Stick) or shotgun to hunt when I could not afford one. The arrows and broad-heads he gave me to get a biggin.

The honey he gave me that he and Angeline worked so hard to take care of and then would not let me pay him for it.

The time he drove me (both of us dressed in camouflage) to the hospital to get a thorn out of my hand, that I could not get out. Then we went straight on to the deer woods.

The phone calls he would make to me just to see how I was doing and to check on my wife.

I always think of Bill and his family as being my family. We love you all.

WE LOVE YOU BILL AND HOPE TO MEET YOU IN THE WOODS OR ON THE LAKE OF GOD'S GREAT HEAVEN..

Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers. Pray that God will give us traveling grace and watch over us. We will be leaving out Thursday morning very early to arrive to visit for a while and for the 1:00 pm funeral. Then returning for home right afterwards. We are still planning on riding the Central Kentucky Memorial Ride with Dennis in Lexington,Ky.

Sorry I am late getting around to this. Thank you all very much. The funeral went very well and the family is doing fine. Every thing was just exactly as Bill would have wanted it. God has helped us through your prayers and his grace.

 

 

PS; I stayed with Bill's son, Jerry (whom is like my brother) while up to Ohio for Freebirds MD. It was good and comforting for both us to be together and talk. Not the same with out Bill, but life must go on. Thanks again...
