Men that told of chasing wild horses and riding broncs. Men who hunted to put food on the table.
Men who were made of rough shells and warm hearts.
They played hard. They looked after their families. They were good neighbours and life long friends.
Strong and proud men who would give the shirt from their back to someone in need. They minded their own business. Contracts were signed with a hand shakes.
The one with the heart that is true
Giving to others a vision of hope
Life as he knew it, lives on in our soul.
