Got this off another forum.

Please keep the LeClair family in your prayers. Ron lost the love of his life yesterday. Nancy was one of the nicest people that I had the good fortune to meet and share a fire with.

I would ask the same. Please keep Ron & family in your prayers.

This has been a tough year for losing friends and family.  Sure seems to be a lot of that going on.
Condolences to Ron and his family.  And prayers.  Always prayers.

This was the last time we hunted together at our cabin, ShrewHaven. It was in December during the muzzleloading season. It got very cold but she was a real trooper and wanted to hunt instead of sit in the warm cabin

Ron - So sorry for your loss.  I'm glad you have so many wonderful memories of your dear wife to warm you in the days ahead.

Take care and until next time...be well.
