This stuff is never easy. Cancer sucks! You are a very blessed man to have a father like you had. We lost our Mom to breast cancer at 50 years-old last year. It is still hard. We just concentrate on living a life to honor her. She left a high mark for us to hit each day. From what I've read, your Dad was the same way. Will be praying for you and your family.

Curtis
Pops was the kind of man that became a friend just upon meeting him. I certain enjoyed the few moments we had together one-on-one...fishing, walking, talking about family. He was so proud of you and your accomplishments. Peace to you and your family

We were both born the same year...kind of added an extra bond to what we had seen in those years. Gary save a place at the campfire...Doc

Finally able to face this thread: Pops will be painfully missed; I will miss our frequent conversations and his ever cheerful "Reverend doctor Coots!" greeting till I go to meet him.

Every time I have a dressed Tecate, I'll smile and think of you Pops. We'll thump some rabbits again someday...and I hear the fishing is good on the river Jordan.

Love you Curtis, we are praying for you, Miss Lulu and all those touched by his memory.

Curtis,

I didn't know you dad any way but through the stories posted here. I'm sorry for your loss.

Curtis, Skyler and I never met your Dad but some of my best friends did and they thought the world of him. Hang in there and prayers sent. Don and Skyler Wilson

I felt a "great disturbance in the Force" with Gary's passing to the big campfire. His was a life well lived.

Stump shooting with friends

A big part of many fond memories

Thanks again to all who've posted. The prayers and great stories have been well received. The photo's of the great times we've all had with Dad have brought a big smile to my face. Thanks! CK

One of my favorite stories told to me by Gary was about a turkey hunt. He and some pals had spotted a roost site for a flock of Thanksgiving dinners. They talked it over and had several adult beverages as the plan came together. At dusk they attacked with shotguns from all sides. Gary said he knocked one down but it ran off wounded with him in chase. He ran out of shells during the running battle and moved in for the hand to hand finish. The big tom turned on him and the fight was on. Gary said he ended up in the fetal position with his arms protecting his head as the victorious tom strutted off leaving him beaten and bruised.

Not a big man physically, but humility and heart of extra large. Texas will seem smaller without him.

There is little I can say except I am sorry for your loss. Just keep in mind, as the sun shines on you each day, its "Pops" smiling down on you. Peace to you and you family. Though I never have, it sounds like I would have been a better person from meeting him.

Did not know the man, sounds like it was my loss. Blessings upon you and your family at this time. Really love what JC said in his post.

Now, one of my great regrets in life, never having met Mr. Keller. I put off my St Judes hunt w/Curtis and now it will be lessened by Mr. Keller's absence.
My deepest condolences.

Jeremy · « **Reply #136 on:** March 25, 2009, 08:10:00 AM »

You have my deepest sympathies CK.
I only talked to Pops once and regret not being able to shake hands and share a campfire with him.

Mike/MO · « **Reply #137 on:** March 25, 2009, 05:22:00 PM »

Just wanted to send my sympathy and prayers to the Kellar family. Memories are what keeps our spirit alive and judging by the response here your father will not soon be forgotten.

Mike

Sorry to hear of your loss Curtis. Tough times, I know. Your Dad was an inspiration to me since meeting you guys a couple of years ago. He will be long remembered.

BlacktailBowhunter · « **Reply #139 on:** March 25, 2009, 10:29:00 PM »

Wow, this is a very touching thread.

I didn't know him, but I definately get a sense of how good of a person he was.

I lost my dad 5 years ago March 11.

Curtis, you have my deepest condolences.

Paul
