oh no... so sorry to see this.
Such a great guy, no nonsense and old school. Always willing to talk shop and be helpful but didn't put up with BS and had a great nose for sniffing out people asking for handouts rather than being guided to find the answer for themselves... I always really respected that about him.
whether talking plugs, BS ing at the shop or random middle of the night bump-in-tos out on the beach when he was the only other person I came across all night...I always looked forward to getting a chance to meet up.
He was always interested in and encouraging of Leah's development as a surfcaster and a ski racer.. and often asked about both. Offered to help us find deals on a place to stay and tickets at Sugarbush when she qualified for US eastern champs last year before they got covid-cancelled. thats the kind of guy he was
and man, those DARTERS........
will miss not texting/messaging/seeing him out there...wont be the same
Kindest thoughts to JP and Jeannie
