In memoriam - I buried a hunting partner today - Danny Balke

[JES Adventures]

With sadness I attended the funeral of my dear friend and hunting partner Danny Balke of Wimberley, Texas today. He was 59 years old and succumbed to the perils of cancer. He was a gentleman hunter, having taken Safaris in Cameroon, South Africa and Zambia he was a student of African Hunting. We shared many a campfire and whiskey's and my heart is heavy, but I find solace in knowing he is in a better place. God Bless you Danny, see you on the other side.

Danny's beautiful Bongo on our Safari in '92 to the rainforest of Cameroon.

Really sad for you as well. I am down to three, and one is my son. This whole mortality thing weighs a bit after a while. Try to have a scotch with him as often as you can.

Bitter.
You don't have many friends who go the same way with the same passion.
My condolences.
