Had a call from his son. Appears the end is near. No pain. Will likely drift away in a day or so.

GMG and I are glad to have spent time with SF over the years at the Freedom group, visits to his place or ours.
An easy person to converse with but very private. SF even met the colourful Aussie Digger for dinner at my place years ago.

I will remember him for his beloved orchard where he had grafted different varieties on some of the apple trees. Very talented.
The abundant fruit was donated to the local Food Bank.
Grew many varieties of grape as well.

Many conversations about Gold and Silver and the rapid rise the past month or two. He acknowledged 5000 Gold and 100 Silver and was very happy to have seen those levels.

He had made peace with his maker and was not afraid. God is with him.
His son, daughters and grandchildren will carry on his legacy.
