Lost my oldest shooting friend

I've known and hunted/fished/camped with Dick (Richard E. Hancock) for over 50 years. He rarely posted but always read what the rest of us had to say. I will miss him mightily. Here's my tribute to him:

The Shooter

Gathered round the forum, tight,
we chatted on into the night,
`bout guns and cats and campin' spots.
And who's a troll, not worth our shots.

A few we knew were always straight.
We leaned on them to stay up late
and smooth out feathers that we'd ruff
and leave the board just clean enough.

Now gathered here with one less voice
I miss him bad, but it's God's choice.
Dick fought the fight as best he could
And there's no doubt that he was good.

And one last time as I looked high
A shooter blazed across the sky.

See ya' buddy.
