Big John was a Vet, family man and a fishermen. He had just gotten a new G3 last year and looked forward to fishing in it everyday with his wife of over 49 years. Tragically he was killed in a car wreck just after the new year. I think of him often and miss talking fishing with him. He was such a kind and generous man. He cared about all people. I miss you my friend. I can still hear and see him on my boat, saying "man you know some..."
