Just last week Dick was making plans to attend Minktoberfest for one day this week. I was not aware of his passing until I saw it posted on Don Powell's Mink Trapping forum after I got home from Minktoberfest this evening. Rest in Peace fellow trapper!

Dick, made a difference. He truly loved trapping. He was one of the first 4 to ever attend what has become Minktoberfest. He wanted to come again Saturday and planned to do so. We planned on honoring his Lifetime Achievements. Let me do so now in his remembrance.

Sorry to hear of his passing, may he rest in peace.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

My condolences to his family and friends. I met him a couple times, seemed like a nice guy.
