This past weekend we said goodbye to my Uncle Bob, the “Stoney” of Stoneydale.
Stoney was my Uncle, Dale was my Father.
Both of these incredible men have now left our lives, they both blessed our lives beyond measure and left behind the legacies of wilderness & conservation areas saved for generations to enjoy.
Stoney was a veritable force in this world: a highly decorated Air Force pilot who served two tours in Vietnam. A successful lawyer, a logger, an outfitter, a businessman, an artist, and his favorite roles: husband, father, grandfather & great grandfather.
Two of the greatest stars to have ever shined have fallen; and though our lives were all the brighter because of these men, the sky will always seem a little darker without them.
Love you always and forever Uncle Bob “Stoney” Burk.
