Died of heart attack, while out logging. Gran found him laying across the log he had just chained behind the horse, Jerry, to skid it out. Jerry used to head for the barn immediately the reins were dropped, but this time he just stood patiently and waited for help. The dog went home and got Gran and she flagged down the snow plow and sent him for help. I was in school at the time and Uncle Glenn came to pick me up and drove me around until I stopped crying, so that we wouldn't upset Granny any more than she already was. The funeral was from the farm house. His casket was in our living room for 3 days. This is the first time I ever saw my Mom cry.
