Thanks everyone. I met Zeke in 1977 after I finished my enlistment in the Navy. We met on the Cliff Walk while surfcasting (where else?). Because we shared the same passion we became immediate friends. Zeke was also a Navy vet – served as a submarine sailor – a fact he always reminded me of by telling me there were two parts of the Navy – submarines and targets – I served on targets.
We shared so many casts together, some very special times, as was the night we both took our largest striped bass standing next to each other during Block Island’s Snowstorm Blitz. I remember shaking his hand in congratulations.
He moved to Wisconsin in 2007 but came back to fish Block with us in 2009. The last time I saw him was last summer in Montana. We and our wives shared a few meals together while touring Glacier National Park. Little did we know he would be diagnosed with cancer 7 months later.
I plan on writing a remembrance once I can get my thoughts together. Here are a few photos of Zeke in his element. His 55 on Block, and wade fishing Sturgeon Bay.
