Perhaps not such a sad occasion for him, Rob.... just for the ones left to miss him.
I once bought an old home place to add land to my existing small holding. The very nice lady who had lived there said she would miss her plants and could she come back when they came up and take some starts. I said of course. My task later was to fill in HUGE holes all around the foundation of the old house and sheds/barns. It took truck loads of soil to manage that task. If I had know that she was going to excavate the site and make it dangerous for livestock........
