Just got word coming in from fishing.Too young I know many will miss him,but even on this sad occaision I have to relate a verry funny story about Hab's.
We have an annual striper tournament out on Block Island, and john came out with us for a couple years [won it one year] as you may have guessed he allways came out bearing plugs for all and would not take a dime from anyone.
Well the fishing was slow this paticular year and we were down at south west point for first light.We went to the point,Habs went towards #^&#^&#^&#^&ens.
After catching no fish we were standing around talking and observed Hab's coming towards us dragging a fish in the 35#to 40# class.As he drew closer you could tell by the strain on his face the fished weighed.Untill he got close enough and we could see daylight thru the fishes eyeballs!Man did it stink.You all know what he did,He found this rotting fish on the beach and had us fooled.We laughed our asses off!What a great sense of humor.Rest in Peace,John.

May you rest in peace. God bless your family, in this time of sorrow.

I keep these hanging on my shop...I always have a Gibbs, I added the George Carlezon after he passed away.......and now I will keep the Habs hanging closeby with the others who came before. To remember those who came before and for all they did. Hopefully they are all leaning back on a tight rod and landing large on every cast....up around the bend.

Never had the pleasure of meeting Habs. Its amazing how much an online forum can tell you about a person, and make you feel like you do know them. Great guy.
Thoughts and prayers for family and friends.
