So my Uncle Doc died tonight.....
He was a great guy. My Grandfather grew up in Idaho, but moved to Socal in the late 20's, where he met my Grandma. They had two boys, my dad being the oldest. He would take them back to Idaho to flyfish and hunt and swim in the snake river, and later, my dad would do the same with my brother and I. He found out he had a brain tumor earlier in the year, and we knew the time we had with him was fleeting, at best. My Aunt took him to Sun Valley for Christmas, and he just let go when he got there yesterday. As peaceful and on his terms as it gets. We just found out about it around 11 or so last night, still in shock. They will bury him up there in the cool meadows of the Idaho footlands along the snake river, and he will be in the sunshine of Grandpas ranch for all time. RIP Uncle Doc. This was quicker than we thought, but at the same time, the gift is that you didn't suffer too much, and that your home now with the folks.....
