RIP Dan Carter
 

It is with great sadness that I let you all know of the passing of my friend and our PGCA colleague, Dan Carter. Dan and I connected through the Forum as he would always contact me about my posts of hunting, a passion he and I shared. Dan and I had more than Parkers and hunting in common. Unfortunately, he and I also shared our cancer journey, and today I received word from his son, Rick, that his long battle is now over.

Dan was a veteran, a father and grandfather, a hunter and a clays shooter. He loved beagles, grouse hunting, and fishing...and his family. I enjoyed his many stories of his long and good life. His son, Rick, told me that Dan’s guns will be valued and used within the family. I know that was important to Dan.

Dan spoke highly of his PGCA friends and acquaintances, and I know he valued his membership in our group. The Forum was a big part of his life. He mentioned many of you by name, and I would most certainly leave someone out if I tried to note all who were a part of Dan’s life.

I am grateful to have come to know Dan through this Association.

Dan never spoke an unkind word about anyone. He was a real gentleman, He will be sorely missed, not just by the people who personally knew him, but by all who value true wisdom.

It truly gets harder and harder to live long enough to see good, old friends pass on. God Bless Dan Carter even though I never knew him. Love that photo!

It saddens me to read this. My condolences to his family.
