Reading all of these posts has made me realize who my father was to the fishing community. It boggles my mind to see how much influence he had on so many people.He was such a great man who had such a deep passion , and the one thing that is consoling me right now is that I know fishing for my father was his outlet and how much he enjoyed sharing his knowlegde with everyone.He was such a great guy I LOVE AND MISS him to death. Reading these posts helps so much because it reinforces to me how kind and generous my father was to not only our family but everyone.I'm lost right now without him he knew the answer to everything ... I'd never thought I'd be writing this but to all that are effected by our loss keep on fishing.. keep my father's passion alive .. even if you don't catch anything the thrill and chase is the best part. One Father's day I sat down as a young girl while he was at work in the cellar.. trying to tie line around a hook with a piece of bucktail fur . The final result was horrible and bound to fall apart but there it still sits in his "office" in Cara's lure box. He was so happy that he had two daughters who could out fish any of the boys. Thank you all so much !! Miss you Dad - Cara Lauren and Deborah Shiraka

Cara, he spoke often of you and your sister and your accomplishments, he was so proud of his family. My deepest sympathy to you all. Your dad will be sorely missed by many and remembered always. God bless.

If I may speak for the community here, we wish you peace,strength, and love in the difficult days ahead of you. Please know we have your back, as Steve had ours. If you need something, you need only ask. George and Dave would be happy to let us know, I'm sure. Thank you for your words tonight. It means a lot to us hearing from you. God bless.

Cara, what Bruce and Ross have said.
Your father was extremely proud of you all and spoke admirably of you all the time. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Know always that he loved his Family dearly, that he always included you in his conversations with me and spoke of you glowingly. He was so very proud of you.

Cara and Deborah,
I am so sorry for your loss.
While this quote may not penetrate at this time, i have found it to be the truth with the passing of my Dad and other loved ones over the years:
"Those whom we love we remember; and those whom we remember are
always with us. The ties are never broken; the fellowship is
never ended.Those whom we love we cherish.They go with
us wherever we are. They live within our souls.
They follow us through the years, and they are never forgotten.
They are our constant companions: they strengthen us,guide us, correct us and inspire us.
They are invisible to our eyes, but they are with us, for the fellowship of the spirit depends not on our physical presence.
The spirit joins us across the miles, across the years, and across the chasm which separates life from death.
They are even CLOSER to us in death than in life- in a unity of spirit which is the essence of the completeness we call love. "
Sumner H. Gill 1979
May God bless you and your family and give you
the peace and strength to go through this.

Thank you very much. I just kissed my kids as they lay sleeping in their beds one more time before I go to bed.
T&P's for your friends and family. |
