I am saddened to state that my good friend Joel Hopkins passed away in London this past week . Cause appears to be a heart attack but not proven .
For those who knew Joel ,he loved diver hunting but his passion was turkey hunting. Joel along with his late wife Anne Marie Green and Dave Ankney and his wife Sandra Johnson were instrumental in bringing turkeys to Ontario . The story of how the turkeys were introduced into Ontario has been documented in Ontario Out of Doors magazine as well as on the plaque at the release site of the first turkeys on the 3rd Concession Road east of #59.
There will be a celebration of Joel's life sometime over the summer when restrictions have hopefully been lifted .
