Tom Dakota Smith Family could use our emotional support

What we do here on this great NJF site Gerry created is support each other on all issues but most importantly when a friend needs us.

In this case our own Tom Dakota Smith lost his brother Kevin age 64 unexpectedly last week due to a yet unknown event. While I never met his brother Kevin I know Tom, his son Ryan and Tom's friends on our many trips on the Monger. Immediately Tom, his family , his friends became my friends and I can tell you inside or outside of fishing I am proud to call him a great friend.

We then engaged in fisheries management discussions and Tom's efforts to fight for our recreational fishing rights is beyond description.

Please send your thoughts and prayers to Tom, his family and his brothers family in this very difficult time made even more difficult due to the pandemic. As I am sure you are all aware funerals/ send offs are not what they can be.

Our virtual support will let his brothers family and Tom know they are never alone because that's what we do here and everywhere!
