The Passing of Grouse Hunter
Yesterday, September 18th 2013, grouse hunters lost a kindred spirit. George King, author of That's Ruff, passed away after a long illness at his home in Jeannette, Pa. He is survived by his wife, Penny and two daughters.
On a hill on his farm a huge Oak tree marks the site of his dog, "Boy", and it there he will go home to be with "Boy" once again. George cared deeply about his family, his service to his country and for His Majesty, Mr. Grouse. Those of us who shared an e-mail, telephone chat, or have his book, will remember his passion for Grouse. Soon to be released will be the book, "A Passion for Grouse" with a lengthy interview in George's own words about his feelings toward Grouse hunting and the bird.
We will miss him.
