Don Michaud, R.I.P.

[JohnR]

I just saw Krispy posted on FB that Don Michaud has passed.

You all might remember Don from Stonington Marina and Kayak Outfitters, and before that from Weekapaug B&T, or simply the way I remember him, jigging the inside of Quonnie Breachway while the rest of us Schmoes drifted the dropping tide.

We watched the Red Sox come back against the Yankees in Game 4 ALCS in the Cottage a bunch of the guys rented in October every year. Johnny Habs was there.

He was always nice to my kid, to me, and everyone on this site.

We held many of our fishing get togethers at Weekapug and then Stonington and he would keep the shop open all night for us. We had a fund raiser back in 2005 when Don came down with cancer, almost died, but battled back hard. He used to help Jim and Steve with the MDA Tourney.

He was a great member for the RI/CT Fishing Community, a great guy, and someone I call a friend.
