Reading these posts helps so much because it reinforces to me how kind and generous my father was to not only our family but everyone.I'm lost right now without him he knew the answer to everything ... I'd never thought I'd be writing this but to all that are effected by our loss keep on fishing.. keep my father's passion alive .. even if you don't catch anything the thrill and chase is the best part. One Father's day I sat down as a young girl while he was at work in the cellar.. trying to tie line around a hook with a piece of bucktail fur . The final result was horrible and bound to fall apart but there it still sits in his "office" in Cara's lure box. He was so happy that he had two daughters who could out fish any of the boys. Thank you all so much !! Miss you Dad - Cara Lauren and Deborah Shiraka
Thank you very much. I just kissed my kids as they lay sleeping in their beds one more time before I go to bed.

T&P's for your friends and family.
