Pablo enjoyed hunting in his earlier days acquainting himself with other hunters sharing his experience & offering his guidance, safety and survival measures. Pablo sketched a map for the hunters so that they would not get lost. Pablo knew the forest like the back of his hand.

He treasured the great outdoors and referred to our National Forest as “his Mountain”. Composing the Eulogy is nephew, Travis Moseley.
