Dave ..... (Stifftip and Numby) i know your hurting bad...
i myself had a good CRY this morning as i hugged my wife because Steve
always treated me with Such kindness and respect that i was literally Blown away
each time we chanced to meet....
this a HUGE loss to the fishing community in that.... Steve kept meticulous records and knew more about the History of Plug Making and the history of striped bass fishing than anyone i can think of really.
ALL i can tell you is.... the healing will take a long time and only the beauty of Nature "as you see it" will give you comfort. You have him "with you" in your heart and memory and there..... he resides now.
I like to think that...... he is watching over us as a protector.
I've been working hard on the house all day to keep myself mentally occupied so the sadness won't overwhelm me.
Rest in Peace Flaptail
