Death notice for the town of: Oakbank, Province: Manitoba
Dennis & I hunted & fished together for 30 years. He was with me when I shot my first moose & I was with him when he shot his first caribou. We had many fishing trips at Paint Lake. We spent many hours deer hunting in Carberry.
We used to tease each other about our guns. I had a 30-06 pump & he had a 308 lever action. If his gun is going to be sold, I want to buy it. I’m going to miss him lots! Doug Shotton
