Tight lines Poppa!

We lost the originator of the Bomba fishing clan at 90 years. A great fisherman and the best grandfather a kid could ask for. He will be in my thoughts every time I launch a cast. I love you Pop!

Sorry for your collective loss. Your family seems to be a tight knit group. That starts at the top he must have been a great guy.

Jess and I are heading out to Western Mass now. I'll pass along the condolences to the family from s-b.com.

They are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I never had a grandfather that I knew. I guess I
missed something good. Mikey, Rick, you are two
great people and I don't doubt you grandfather has
some input. Thoughts and prayers for all the Family,
your good friend. JohnP

He went in to the hospital on Thursday morning. He smashed his back on a curb. My dad called and told me he had a small heart attack but he would be out on Saturday. As soon as I heard that I headed to the hospital to spend some time with him. He was just looking at me smiling in a warm but strange way that I have never seen from him before. I went back to see him again Friday. Soon after I left he passed in his sleep. It sounded very peaceful. My grandmother is doing much better than I thought, and I now realize what real strength is. (they were married for over 70 years) I feel blessed, as I am sure the rest of my family do. Not many kids get to have grandparents until they are 40. What they had was a true definition of love. When I went to go see my parents on Saturday, I had forgotten my wedding ring (I got it from Walmart cuz my fingers were to fat at the time to fit in my father in law's that was attempted to be fitted for me and I was getting married the next day). My wife and I always said we would get a fancy one. Well, 8 years later I walk into my parents and see his band on the table. A perfect fit! It was him smiling down on me. I'm on my way to the wake now. Thanks for all the well wishes.

Sorry to hear this Bomba's
Sounds like he had a long life you all can celebrate and remember.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Mike and Rick - very sorry to hear of his passing but he sounds like a wife well lived! Married for 70 years - wow. And a big hug from your grandma.

Godspeed Poppa!
