He spent many years on the open water as a commercial fisherman, and in what free time he had, on the same waters for the pure enjoyment of it. He was fiercely independent, a strong believer in looking for and finding solutions to problems large and small. His solid work ethic, attention to detail and sense of humor are his legacy to his family. He was our captain. He was greatly loved. He will be missed.
