Phil Little, the rancher I trapped the most for in Wyoming was laid to rest yesterday.
One of the best, nicest men I ever knew, generous too.
I never heard a cuss word, or a bad word about others from Phil.
He was 93, his two brothers passed at 93-95.
I hope to see him again when I go, I miss him already.
He fought in Korea, did rodeo broncs , then settled down and raised four daughters, two grandsons do the ranching now
I think one grandson said Phil said before he passed, I wish I could do it all again, not because I would want to change anything, or whatnot, because I had so much fun!
RIP you gentle soul

Phil was a good man, I trapped the Little ranch some years ago when I lived in Buffalo.
Rest In peace.

I knew Phil and we spent some time our younger years he was a bit my senior not by much also a veteran I missed his service and regret it. He did a lot for the community of Buffalo and got around the state he was a pioneer in many ways. Wyoming is like a big town with a long main street you spend your life here and get to know a lot of folks. We just lost one of the few politicians that was worth a darn in my life time Alan Simpson great Senator and Republican who made and difference for the country and our state.
