Fellas, and ma'am - I contacted the owner of the property where Foot's pisshole blind is. I thought it'd be a good place to go after the service Wednesday and just hang out for a bit. Tony, the owner, told me Foot's waders are still hanging in the barn there and he graciously agreed that it'd be a great place to tell a story or two remembering John.
This won't be some fancy dinner, just a place big enough to park everyone and have a few beers overlooking one of John's favorite haunts in the barn where he kept his hunting gear and told lies.
I figure we can bring a few coolers of beer, maybe some sammiches, and raise a few to our friend.
I'd like to have an idea of how many of you boys, and girls, plan to attend the service and are interested in a get together for a few hours in a less "formal" way. Once I get an idea of who may be coming I'll look into some food of some sort.
This property is right next door to Columbia Bottoms CA and a short drive from the funeral home.
Thanks.
Scott

I am going to try to re-arrange my work schedule to get there.
Since older brother doesn't visit hera anymore, I copied this and emailed it to him. If he can sneak past the War Department I imagine he'll try to make it too.

Wish I could make it but the wife and I are going to be out of town on a vacation trip. Our condolences to the family and all of John's friends. I'll still hoist a few on that day.

For those who can't make the funeral on Wednesday, Troy, Bailey, and myself were talking. Saturday July 2nd, we are planning a gathering at Wilton Boat Club to celebrate John's life. Just like the past, alcohol, great eats, laughs, bombs, pitbulls, & hookers .......uh, well girlfriends and wives, just don't bring both. 
Troy will have the boat club open and ready for everyone to show up. If the river is higher than giraffe beardedclam......we will head to higher ground to do all of the above in another setting. Put it on the calender for July 4th weekend. The 3 day weekend should work better for the folks working or traveling.

Anything going on construction/traffic wise that a brutha coming from KC should know about?
Mapquest says I-70 to 270 North to 367 North to Dunn Road onto Lusher Road to Redman is the best route? Is that the best route?

Good to see you and the other heathens as well. I think it was a good send off to a one of a kind man.
Hope to see you all of you miscreants again soon but under better circumstances.

We tossed some of his ashes into the water, drank some Skyy, opened the fruit bar, shot several rounds of ammo to honor Foots at his pisshole of a blind. I know he was smiling down on us. John will hunt for a long time with several of us in a decoy. Being in the hole, with dead Fuchs raining around him is only fitting.
Great to see everyone yesterday. I hope yalll can make it again on July 2nd. Eddie............love you man. Good to see your ass again

I don't think there was a dry eye in the house when Taps was played. It was an honor to be with you all paying our respects to John.
Good to meet some of you for the first time and shake your hand. Always to meet up with the rest of you again, tilt some back, lots of laughs.

Don't have much to say this morning.
It was great to see some of you fellas again......and I know Foots would have loved to have been there in person.
I think we got it right for him.

Some of the fellas? Which of the fellas was it great to see? 
Again nice job on the eulogy Scott. I know for a fact he was laughing his azz off at you and enjoyed F-ing with you once more while you were up there doing it. And leave it to the Fastman to bring the house down.
I think it was awesome of Tony to invite us down as that was the perfect place. One thing we should have done was all gathered out in the field, faced the bluff and took a group piss. I KNOW that cranky old bastage would have laughed at that!
Danny and I remembered several more Foots tales on the trip back west.
Ya'all done good!
