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.
