This Top photo

The top photo, on my blog, is a tribute to my Uncle. It was about this time, 3 years ago, he disappeared. He was hunting, In NFLD, in familiar territory, when he just vanished. Noone knew what happened, but his quad and birds, he shot, were found. For almost 2 years, people searched for him, including my dad, who flew from AB to NFLD 2x to look.
Then, my Dad's cousins, were hunting, and saw something. A rifle, just standing alone. They went near it, and then saw some clothing. It was him. He must have had a heart attack, and lied down in the grass. Finally, my family could have closer, especially my Aunt and her children.
My dad said, that they were no more than a yards away, from him, but never saw his body, on their searches. Its rough, bushy terrain, and they just didnt see him.
So the cross, and rocky grave, are his memorial..... rest in Peace ..Uncle Willard
