Did the man ever not smile when you had a conversation?
 

Well, at Jake's this past spring, Danny and I rode the golf cart thru my woods and he was giving me advice on the trees. It was cold that Sunday morning, like really cold for that time of the year. About half way thru the ride neither of us were smiling, but in the warm truck on the way back to Jake's, we thawed and he was smiling all the way to lunch!

I've seen a few times when we would be doing some sawing in the heat of summer and the heat could take the smile off his face. It would only last until he got in front of a fan.

Yep, he always wished me a happy birthday every year.  I just got reminded by a notification today off his FB account.

I appreciate anyone else sending me birthday wishes to by the way, just so you know about it. It does not go unnoticed. ;)

Thinking of my buddy today. I sure would like to still have him around. We always seemed to be picking on each other. I sure seemed to be leaning on him a lot.

He sure enjoyed the projects. His mind was like a steel trap and he would remember things about them that no one else would.

Haven't been around much lately but while browsing through the tree id threads I got a terrible feeling, may he RIP, and may God watch over his family and loved ones, wished I've gotten to met him.

I never met him. Just talking on here, The thing that got me was, how smart he was. If I could remember half of what he knew, I'd have something. RIP Mr Hamsley.

We stopped at the place WDH used to display his impressive wood stuff at the Peaches to Beaches Yard Sale.  He lived just down a narrow road, where we drove down and saw the sign and manicured rows of  pine trees.

Great picture Six. It put a lump in my throat thinking back to planting those trees for him. Any that would like a great read there is a thread in the forestry section here I think the title is "Establishing a pine plantation". I'm not computer smart enough to put up a link to it but maybe someone can help on here. It will give some others a look at how much he loved his little piece of the world.

I worried about the privacy thing so I scratch through the street number.  It probably didn't make any difference since he was known worldwide through the Forum and his web site.

I have not seen the sign.  someone mentioned they wished they had a pic.  so I thought it might have been a special image.
