The reason ive been quiet here is because Ken, my best fishin buddy and neighbor passed away this spring after a couple of years of struggling with cancer to stay alive. I,m not yet recovered but there,s a little more wind in my sails every month passing of the big tides.
After much neglect and thought of you being family, I hope to make a return maybe to a somewhat normal me
So look for a post fairly soon in the Great Northwest Section here. :ct gst.
Sorry for your loss, Gary. Nice to see you back on the forums though, hope to hear more of your adventures once you're feeling up to it.
sorry for your loss compadre Gary, take your time, you will be always welcome to post your adventures
Sorry for your loss, glad we'll see more of you. I'm sure Ken would want you back out killing some fish, good friends are like that
Great to see you back Gary. Somewhat normal is our specialty here :) You'll be right at home.
As Alex says, take your time.

Gary,
Very sorry for your loss. You two crazy kids were a hell of a team... Only time can heal that wound.
Wishing you the best and look forward to your return and adventures.
RIP Ken
Warm regards,
Dom
Yeah, it sucks to lose a buddy! I just lost the best fishin' buddy I ever had, last Monday......the island won't be nearly as much fun,without him! So I kinda' know what you are going through! Hang tough, and honor their memory..that's the best I can come up with.
It's sadly our age thing to lose good buddies like that.
My condolences to you.
Good to see you headed back, Gary. 8) I figured your absence had something to do with the loss of your fishing buddy. May he RIP!

Gary, we all need time to grieve. We look forward to hearing of your adventures in the great northwest. Dominick
Gary - Condolences, I can understand how tough it is, no need to apologize for taking time. I suspect that once you get back out on the water, that is probably where Ken would want you to be. - john
Sorry for your loss Gary.
Glad you're making your way back though.
I think John's right that 'out on the water is probably where Ken would want you to be.'
All the best, Justin

water fishing adventures. Time will heal and your memories are one of the best ways.

Gary, my deepest condolences. It's completely understandable, and we are here to listen as well as sit in silence with you through these times.
