Some of you know of Cotton from rendezvous in the past. I wanted to let you know Cotton passed away late last week at home. He is missed.

Please give our condolences to friends and family.

Will do, Captchee. Bea come into the store several time a week. Cotton was one of those 'one of a kind', I and many others will surely miss him.

I know this is an old post but I just found it. My father was an old friend of Cotton and as a boy I have many great memories of Cotton and visits to the campground. I am sad to hear of Cotton's passing and wish to give all the Family my best wishes. Bea and Cotton got married in my Parents store The Mountain Man General Store. Sorry to find out so late but please know my thoughts are with You. Paul

I just found this thread about Cotton, I knew of his passing. I knew him well enough to call him a friend, he was a man of outstanding character. I got a letter from Bea last summer. She wrote, "We still have the picture of when you and the fellows canoed the lake up here"...she was talking about Lake Superior.
When some of us old timers get together and talk of the old days, Cotton's name is one that usually gets mentioned. He is missed.
