Found this sad news when myself and several from this site returned home safely from a beautiful morning on the water.......it can go bad so quickly for any of us at any time.....no matter how well seasoned we may think we are. Bob was a good fisherman and a good person. It struck me as ironic when I heard the news that not too long ago, at another dear friends wake and funeral, Bob and I lamented how "you just never know when your time will come". I am just so sorry to hear that Bob's time came much too soon. I think a man's mark in life can be measured by how many he touched......how many that man made an impression on, and it can't be measured with any certainty until that man is gone. Bob touched us all and left an impression of generosity, kindness, caring and a pure joy for this passion that we all share. Rest in peace Bob. May fair winds and fishy waters be yours always.
I understand that Greg jumped in to save Bob. Such a selfless act...it just leaves me speechless. Get better soon Greg.
