BOZEMAN, Mont. – Twenty-five years later, George McClure Jr. remembers his first hospice patient well.
He would sit once a week with him, giving the man’s wife a brief respite from the caretaking role.
McClure remembers him as a gregarious man. A former ranch foreman from California, the man would travel to Montana in the winter. Eventually he and his wife retired in Bozeman. He loved to fish and was a teller of tales, McClure said.
