Oh Mr. Goat was one heck of a gentleman! Spent so much time with him at Pinetuck! One great memory out of the hundreds, me and him went fishing one day after golf at hickory knobb state park. I took forever to give him a minnow, and he never let me live it down. Every time we'd see each other, he'd ask for that minnow. Mr GOAT rejoice with God and I hope you are catching all the crappie you can! You will be forever missed. Until we meet again sir.
He was such a positive influence wherever he went. Always greeted me a smile! He was a good friend and fellow golfer. Now he is in the hands of our precious Lord and Savior. Rest easy my friend and I'll see you later for a round on the celestial links of heaven
