Sad day for NJF... RIP LAB......

[Two Captains]

Working to much, (away from "home") has me out of touch. I read through the many pages of this thread waiting, then hoping I would get to the post that would turn this into an LAB hoax. Shocked and saddened are understatements..... I met him face to face only once, when I was working 2nd skip with Jimmy Elliot on a Suzie Girl Tuna trip. He got off the Skipper and was unrecognizably walking toward me. Knowing his sense of humor from lurking on this site back then, and having a similar sense of humor, I waited until he was close and said... "Hey...aren't you Broken Bobber"? Needless to say he set me straight,... and we both had a great laugh. My thoughts and Prayers are with the Wells Family, to all on and off this site whose lives he touched, and to you Tom, You'll fish NOT without him.
