A moment of Silence for Leroy/ Golden Hawk

[horatio1226]

I propose a moment of silence for Leroy "Golden Hawk" on Monday morning, Memorial Day at 8:00 A.M.Eastern. Maybe we can take 1 minute from our hobby to reflect on our lives and how fortunate we are to be alive. Maybe then, Leroy's passing won't be a total loss. Please join me on Monday morning.

That's a nice thought, and if able to, maybe loose an arrow.

[Stone Knife]

Good idea, I'm going to put the string he made me on my Hill and let one fly in his memory.

[adkmountainken]

will do, i'll either be on a stream or in the woods, places i'm sure he loved.

[fireman_3311]

Sounds good...Remember his family as well!!!

[BobT]

I'm in!

I just opened my mail for today. In it was the string he made for me this week and mailed the day before yesterday. It is going on my brand new Great Plains recurve now.

I too just got strings from him on Tuesday. Spoke to him last Thursday. I will observe a moment of silence for his family. Peace! Shawn

I, too, am in -- after my moment of silence, I will launch an arrow from a string that he made for me out of respect for the "Golden Hawk"!

[PaPaFrank]

I will be honored to join you all to show my respect for a good friend...God's Peace

[Doc Nock]

Didn't know the man or circumstances of his passing, but anyone well respected as this, I'm in!

Prayers for peace that passes all understanding for his family and friends who obviously loved the man.

Only dealt with LeRoy over the phone as he purchased quite a few items from me. A real gentlemen and a sad day for a decent man. All my sympathy to the Carlson family.

[Tim Fishell]

I'm in as well.  Actually I just talked to Jason (whitebuffalo) and Drew (Drew) on the phone.  We are going to hit the range on Monday and do a little memorial for Leroy.  We all had the pleasure of sharing deer camp here in Michigan with Leroy last year and we are all in shock!!

[Doc Nock]

I just read the whole other thread that somehow escaped me when I was on here earlier.

I never read of a suicide that it doesn't tighten my guts into a knot. Been too close to too many...and we've had one here recently that expressed hopelessness but pulled his post.  I've been privately emailing him, but I have a heavy heart.

Killy said it best with the questions around "Why?" there are no rational reasons for someone in such distress to make such a final choice without recourse or 2nd chance.

Each of us can only vow to open more to others and keep our sensors about us when we see people seemingly in distress...and testify to our own challenges and how God keeps us centered.

Knowing now what I have read, I'm ready to do more prayers on His behalf and for his daughter and family.  The next months will be the worst.

May God wrap them all in His loving arms and provide the Holy Spirit to keep them and protect them and fill them with Peace.

[whitebuffalo]

We really lost someone special, I was remembering the truck rides with him at deer camp and our conversations,,We both were hunting a special spot down by the river and we rode a few miles or so to get to the area and I remember on night we came accross a huge poky in the two track,, Leroy jumps out of the truck before it stopped and tried to cahse him down before he got into the dark timber,,LOL,,, Man we had fun during those rides. He made the best strings I have ever put on my bows and I'm very sad my wisperstick doesn't have one.. I'm just now comming to accept it and it hurts bad,,,,,, I'm in as well,,JB

[Froggy]

I am in... prayers continuing
