I've been friends with Wes/Wizardude for well over a decade. His health has been slowly failing him each season. I hadn't heard from him for a bit and tried calling but his line was disconnected so I left messages on his cell phone. We all get busy with our own lives so some time passed so it wasn't uncommon we not talk for a bit of time. I did a search in the obituaries for him in VA and found out he passed away June 8! I would have thought his Mom or someone would have called me? Last time we talked it was about him visiting here or moving down to FL where his childhood buddy could have cared for him in his last days. Rest in peace my friend. I'll see you on the other side.

Please say a prayer for him. He's at peace now and no longer suffering from pain or disease. I found out on Saturday around 11 am and couldn't get myself to post something earlier.

I've crossed paths with many people in my lifetime. I've lost too many close to my heart. You get numb and eventually time heals all wounds: this I found to be partially true. LOL. You can't run away from death. It is a cycle of life. ❤️

Peace to you my brothers. Be safe and God bless whether you believe in him or not. Don't be dumb fishing or whatever when your out driving. Wear your seat belt and your life jackets and wading belts. Practice the buddy system when you fish. You want to grow old to tell your tales to your grandkids. :-) YMMV.
