I hate to see something like that happen do an active sportsman. It is doubly painful. He has an in-your-face attitude but I thought his shows were very entertaining, even when he was a little annoying.

My great uncle use to harpoon swordfish off of Montauk to Nomans area (back in the day) and was the most active guy in the world, could fix/build anything and was a hoot to be around. I watched him slowly die of Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS) and it was horrific, esp for him. I hope Tred recovers and preaches his Carpe Diam style of life once again.

Prayers to him and his family.
