A Sad Day - Eldon Clark Kocher 19 OCT 1926 to 06 DEC 2023

 Today, 06 DEC 2023, my grandfather passed away. He was great and it honestly seemed like he would like forever. I wish I had more time. I have so many questions. My two regrets are that I didn't spend more time with him and that I couldn't put a great grandson in his arms before he left. I had wanted to do that so badly. Thankfully, my cousins were able to do that before me. He was 97. He served in WWII, was a farmer and blue collar worker at a plant on the Ohio river. Being so far from home in West Virginia is hard enough, this just makes it harder. He had taught me to shoot. I don't think he knew where that would lead to but I loved shooting that .22 short Winchester pump. I would like to have one of my own some day.
