Farewell my old friend. 44 years is a lot of shared memories, but sadly you've passed to a place where you'll learn the truth of all those fish that got away. You were the most inventive , the most generous, the funniest, the wisest, and amongst the most succesful of all the anglers I ever knew. You were a damn good artist, guitarist, and friend. The last few years had not been kind to you, but typically 'when life gave you lemons, you made lemonade'. Lunchtimes will never be the same again.
