Man thats tough news about Merlyn.You lost a great friend and hunting buddy.I remember you running a real nice and classy shooting dog over in west central Mo.Merlyn was scouting and both you all were getting it done right.The birds were wild and Merlyn was finding him as you mainly rode the course.I remember those great days.It was fun.My prayers are with you the family.

: Merlyn Masters of Liberty Nebraska, formerly
: a native Missorian and fellow field trialer
: and bird dog enthusias, lost his battle to
: pancreatic cancer in the early am hours of
: Saturday, May 25th.
:
: Merlyn was diagnosed with his illness in
: February of this year and throughout the
: time of his illness,am proud to state that I
: was able to provide care and friendship for
: him.I am even happier to state that now an
: old friend's suffering has finally come to
: an end and that he is now with those whom
: have gone before him to dwell in the house
: of the LORD forever.
:
: My only hope is that Merlyn is now at peace
: and living large once again as he sits atop
: a beautiful high stepping, fast moving
: walking horse, following a brace of true all
: age or class shooting dogs in that sacred
: place where the land and the horizons go on
: forever, where the big bottoms are numerous
: and the edges never cease and where the
: whistles of the bobwhite quail and cackles
: of wild pheasants are numerous and heard
: often and the covies are abundant and truely
: amazing, where the call of point echos loud
: and hangs heavy on the morning fog!
:
: Merlyn's remains are being cremated and his
: ashes will be set free in those wild places
: that he cherished and held so dear to his
: heart and a memorial service and gathering
: of family and friends will be held at a
: future date. "Via Con Dios Mi
: Amigo".
