That is truely SAD ! Don was a fantastic human being , He was always willing to let me get eels around the clock and pay him the next time I saw him . And he was awesome to my girls everytime he saw them . I had the priviledge to fish with Don on multiple occasions and it was always a great time and a classroom for me . He had a wealth of knowledge and experience .


Plus he played for the Detroit Red Wings in the N.H.L's hayday
God Bless You Don

Sad to hear. He had family up this way in Salem. Quiet, soft spoken guy. Delivered my kayak to my house I had bought from him, new. along with a rod I had him build for kayak fishing. Wish I knew what that blank was... It was still my go to live bait rod last I fished two summers ago... I tried to look him up maybe a year or so ago to figure out what that rod was. Think he built them on either a muskie or salmon blank....

Don was a great guy. I spent many, many hours talking fishing and other things with him over the years.
