I had the pleasure of fishing with him a few times. Rip Gods speed to the big pond above. You certainly will be missed but never forgotten. Prayers and condolences to all family and friends, there certainly were many

Sad to hear this. I met Had probably 15 years ago on an offshore wreck trip on the Big J. After that I seemed to run into him constantly on many offshore trips whether sailing out of Brielle, Barnegat Light, Wildwood....... Good fisherman, even nicer guy.

My favorite saying which I repeat is what Had said to me one morning this past spring on the AS at daybreak while tile fishing. He was in no hurry to drop down ,just sitting there on the bench in the bow. I go, what's up Had, R U Not feeling well? I'm Fine, There's No Dirt On Me Yet!! I Loved it!!! Dennis

A nice way to remember Had JMURR I like what you posted. I had the pleasure of fishing with him on many occasions with his son Rob. It was very sad news for me I feel like I lost a brother. RIP Had your now fishing where there are no fishing regulations.

I will be working with the family to coordinate the memorial reef
Construction of of NJ as well as selling off Hads fishing gear to help with funding of his reef. I will make separate post in the near future with more details

You are one stand-up guy Alex, Jmurr too. Karma will be yours.

May he rest in peace.
I will send a donation.
He can watch over our heirs fishing adventures on his reef.
Peace and tight lines to both of you as well,
Tom K.

Thanks for the kind words. Working closely with his daughter to get things going
The old guy left us on top of his game as he was Seabass fishing and ended up winning the pool that day
