Re: Thomas joseph my time has come

I’ve never met you but your post brought tears to my eyes
Godspeed Captain

Re: Thomas joseph my time has come

God bless you Tommy and thanks for everything.

Re: Thomas joseph my time has come

My prayers for a full recovery are yours. Thanks for always remembering me when you had an opening on the Rightaway. The only thing I enjoy more than fishing, is fishing with a fellow brother in the Lord. You are always welcome on my boat when you get better. In His fold, Doug Fogarty

Re: Thomas joseph my time has come

I first met Tommy totally by accident. Never fished NJ before in my life, never bottom fished in my life, but 5 work buddies and I were looking for a 6 pack for seabass and I found a boat on the internet. Not sure how I found it but I did and chartered a boat. Get to the dock and Tommy Joseph is running the boat and was as warm and welcoming as could be. He had 4 guys on the boat who had never really fished before and he worked his tail off to help them, untangle them and get them fish. We all caught a pile of seabass, ling, and a handful of blackfish which went right back as they were out of season.

Long story short, our first charter was with Tommy and Tommy set the bar so high other boats were always somewhat disappointing. We fished with him two more times and always had a blast. Two other times the weather wasn't in our favor. We still talk about Tommy and his great sense of humor and great attitude toward his fares. Good luck Tommy!!

Most important best of luck with your progress post surgery. I never had the good fortune to make your acquaintance which is my loss. Best any of us can ever hope is the positive impact we have on other lives, based on every comment I've ever read about you you're in a league of your own, something that defines your life. Don't give up hope, with today's treatments anything is possible and as others have said hopefully you'll enjoy many more trips on the water. Either way you seem at peace with no regrets in life, everyone here is happy and pulling for you. Can't believe your boating accident happened almost 20 years ago, I remember reading about it that day. Man does time go by quickly! Best of luck and keep the faith!
