Tom Krause Friends ....UP DATE.....

Was emailing Tom about a mutual friend I ran into and he told me he and his wife are in the hospital with C-19. No real details but they could probably use any thoughts and prayers we can spare.

He said the mutual friend story made their day so that was good.

UP DATE

I sent Tom a link to this thread and got this response:

"Oh wow, that is so nice of you to post. Just have my phone so cannot post as I do not recall my code, please pass we are grateful for any prayers. Our faith serves us well. Gayle will recover completely, I have 50% reduced kidney function now but heart & lungs not effected so looks like rest this winter & back at it next. Again we appreciate kind thoughts & prayers more than I can say, lots of good people dying, these are hard days for everyone! "

hope they pull thru , prayers sent

A prayer is going out from my part of Montana to my friends from down south in Wyoming for a quick recovery there's walleye's that still need to be caught !

Yes they are! Will keep them in my prayers. Wish I had they're address yet, but don't think I do. If anyone does, please drop me a PM!

Thoughts dont do much, but I will pray for them

Glad to send prayers

Great people. I gave Tom a call when I was in Riverton WY on a family vacation in 2005. We had never met, just told him I was a PA trapper taking my family out west...I invited me over to his house, met his wife, and we shot the breeze for a couple hours. Prayers sent.

Good friend and trapper he was always there to support the trapping community.

Prayers sent,good people

They have done a lot for the trapping industry. I sure hope they have a speedy recovery.

Take care Krause's , speedy recovery you got this

Prayers sent up for the both of them.

... learned a lot from your “dynamite predator trapping” book as a kid Mr Krause.... y’all get well soon

My prayers is with them .

I always enjoyed reading anything Tom wrote, thoughts and prayers for both.

Prayers sent!

I wish Tom and his wife the best and a quick recovery. I'm fortunate that I had a chance to trap with him for a little bit, very good people.

Prayers sent to one of the best fox trappers,
and best trapping communicators this
country has ever produced.

Get well folks.

He has been having health issues for awhile but was holding his own given his age.

Got an email back from Tom, this afternoon. Said they were on the mend and the worst was over. I didn't realize they were 80, but said they should be going home soon. Very good news!

Thanks for the update Lee.
I’ll send Tom a link to this thread so he can see all the support.

Thanks Lee for the update ! Prayers still for a complete and total recovery !
Allan

Thanks Lee,
Spent a week with Tom on his Marten line almost 30 years ago. Fond memories. Still e-mail a few times a year.
He has inspired me in several different things. Trapping, snaring, fur put up, photography, humor, probably more.
Be good to hear when they both get home.

Prayers for our good friend.
Tom came down with the H1N1 when we had him to the Academy in Kansas a couple years back and we got him to the local hospital in that instance.

He is plain and simply one of the best in this biz! Period.

Prayers sent for them to recover quickly, one of the trappers that got me hooked as a kid in the 80s. Back when you got a mail order catalog to thumb through until the pages wore thin.
