Ah, crap. He was old and sick but crap anyway.

He will definitely be missed! I haven't fished in years but I never missed his columns in Bay Weekly. He always included common sense opinions on many things going on in the world -- a rare thing these days.

It is particularly nice that memorial donations are going to a school library -- a place where exposure to good writing is a critical element in growing our future citizens.

Thoughts and prayers go out to his family. May he rest in peace, and enjoy a place where the fish are always biting.
