Sending my condolences with the loss of Roddrick.
Sluce was such a nice guy. I remember him here at our farm taking down an old structure and he went to see one of my horses. She decided to try to guide him along the fenceline by his shirt! He laughed so hard at that! Last time I saw Sluce he was out hunting wild asparagus across the street. I happened to be out cutting ours so
I hailed him over and together we cut a couple of pounds for him….he was so delighted! He seemed to be a gentle soul and will surely be missed!
Sympathy to his family and friends from the Brogans
