Andy,

I'm sorry for your loss. Your write up says it all, my Dad turns 82 this year and if it weren't for him I may not be fishing today. He took me everywhere and spent most of the time setting me up and snapping pics of my catches, half the time he didn't even get a hook in the water! I fished the Passaic yesterday with my 23 year old son and even though we didn't catch anything it was great. I wish I could take my Dad out but his health doesn't allow it. I do make it a point to call him everyday after I get done fishing to tell him what I caught and bring up a memory of when we fished together. I'm so thankful for the time he spent to teach me the sport that hopefully my son will pass along to his kids. Fishing is still as magical to me now as it was when I was a kid thanks to my Dad.

Im sorry for your loss....RIP. I grew up and never really had a father at all, and now that I have a lil baby girl, I couldnt wait to be what I never had, a Daddy. I took her fishing for the first time to the "duck pond" near where I grew up(she's 3 1/2) and she caught her very 1st fish!! A lil bluegill... but the look and sound she made when it ate the worm and bounced that lil rod as she reeled it in....PRICELESS. "Daddy!! I got a fishy!!" I hope someday when Im gone she will have the same priceless memories of me... So I say to try to ease your pain...think of the joy you brought him when you were a small boy, and got your first "fishy". Again, sorry for your loss, and may he rest in peace..

Like I said, anything you need, ask, done.

Sorry to hear of your loss Andy....Tough to fill the void of a guy like that but sounds like he led a very full life. Glad you have those memories to fall back on. Hang in there.
