Many of you old(er) timers remember Angler's Inn. Some of you may have had the opportunity to talk to (or, mostly listen[
]) to my grandfather, Gean Snow.
He passed away last Tuesday, after suffering with dimentia and a failing body. We burried him on Saturday.
I sure learned a lot I didn't know about him at his funeral, and I thought I knew a lot!
The younger folks on here may never know how much Gean Snow influenced hunting and fishing in this state, and how hard he worked to get kids into enjoying our outdoors. If there was a conservation group to belong to, he did.
He was a big kid at heart that has caught fish that weigh more than your car, yet still giggled when catching white bass.
My favorite parts of his obituary are "He was a conservationist before being a conservationist was cool," and "In lieu of flowers, dad would like it if you took a kid fishing."
So, how about sometime, everyone here takes a kid out? Niece, nephew, neighbor kid, your own. Doesnt matter.
Thanks
Josh
