In memory of my Father who passed today-3-18-14

My beloved father Robert passed this morning ,one day after he and my mom celebrated their 69th Anniversary. He was a farmer, a lover of God and family, and the hardest working man I have ever had the honor to know- As this is a knife site, these are 2 of my father's well used EDC's that I have treasured for years, but as of today are beyond all value. Both will be in my pocket at his funeral next Monday- A 1945-55 Hammer Brand and a Colonial Barlow which has the faint image "Bojac Seed Hybrids" on the handle-He sold Bojac seed corn and gave these to customers-But this was his!! Go with God, Dad, and be at eternal peace in heaven-Your loving son, John-

Thank you to My IKC friends and family from the bottom of my heart

Comment by Gary Wilkins on March 18, 2014 at 20:12: Sorry for you loss, John. That description of your father sounds exactly like my dad. I grew up on the farm, I lost my dad in 1978. I still think of him every day.
