A sad loss
 

On July 8th, a good friend of mine and long time Alaska big game guide, Harold "Zeke" Schetzle passed away due to a diving accident. Zeke had guided hunters from all over the world for Kodiak/Brown Bear, Grizz, Moose, Sheep and other native game. He was well liked and respected. I never had the great fortune to hunt with Zeke, but that was my goal; to hunt Dall Sheep with him. I want to express my deep sorrow for his family's loss. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him. May he RIP. grayghost

Oh my goodness. I had no idea. I have two of his books and they are phenomenal. That is two great Alaskans passing this summer before their time. The other was Susan Butcher.

Thanks for the info Grayghost.

Kusko, I was reading some old posts and saw you refer to the passing of Susan Butcher.
Can you give me any details such as when and the circumstances? She was a friend of my daughter and she had not heard from her in a long time. She will want to know what happened. Please. My e-mail is larryjk@tribcsp.com

Susan was origionally from Cambridge, Mass the meca for Liberal's in Mass. From what I can remember she was all right. I really don't blame her for heading North. I had no idea she was gone.

Sorry to hear about that, grayghost.

Sad
 

I had not heard of Susan's passing.

I think I heard at one time that she had breast cancer.

I took my head into the sunlight and googled her. She died of a type of leukemia in 2006. Very special lady.

Zeke had another book in the works, but never had it published.
