He was Don's partner at Capt. Don's Bait and Tackle in Charlestown, RI. In his 50s and healthy and active. No sign of this coming as far as I know. Was with him about a week ago, helped him carry a heavy wall section for a little shed out beside the shop. He was always helpful, easy with a smile... unfortunately I never fished with him. He saw me practicing my casting with a conventional last year at the back end of Quonnie. He was very encouraging. The captain has had a tough year, with his wife being sick and now John's passing. Don's OK too. Well... that's that. Fine man.... good fisherman. Amen.
