Lost my dad yesterday.
« on: April 01, 2020, 05:23:25 PM »
Lost a great man yesterday. Brought him in to Madigan about 10 days ago with really bad labored breathing. Tested for coronavirus and biological infections but was cleared. Turns out it was aortic stenosis and he wasn't a candidate for surgery. He was on a respirator and decided he didn't want to be kept alive by mechanical means, so had the respirator removed. He was able to breathe on his own for another day. The doctors kept him comfortable as he passed.
He was a retired army Colonel, Vietnam veteran, Green Beret, and a veterinarian also. He was a twin and his brother was also a veterinarian and received the Silver Star in Korea.

Harold (Bud) Strandberg, my dad.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
