Lost my Dad
I posted @ a month ago that my Dad took a turn for the worse, cancer spread to the liver and there was nothing the Docs could do.
My Dad died Tuesday morning. Prior to cancer, he was the healthiest guy I ever knew, ran, swam, biked ate all the right things. 64 is way to young to go.
He was a great father and friend and gave me gifts and knowledge I can never fully realize. The best gift was the appreciation for the ocean, fish and the outdoors. I will miss him every day of my life. He and my Mom have been married for 42 years. My sister and I have been focusing on her.
YOu guys will never know him, but I know you can appreciiate him as a fisherman. He never talked much to other guys, would have disagreed with most of what gets posted on these boards. He believed in eels, jigs, redfins and flies on a wooden egg. The rest he thought was all hype. I finally scanned a few of his pics, these fish weighed 45lbs and and 51lbs. Both caught in SoCo in a "non" secret spot, easy access, and yet usually empty when I fish there. I hope I can be half the Dad he was. He will live on in my thoughts and memory and every fish I ever catch will be for him. He would be pissed that I posted this but its a small tribute to a great guy.
