I really hate to hear that. Sounds like he enjoyed fishing. Lets US all know that when we get older, we might need a hand at the boat dock & be willing to help others

From what I've heard, John was well known and liked by many. He made a fatal mistake taking that little boat out into the bay on what appeared to be a relatively calm day. I think the boat was new to him and he was anxious to try it out. I also believe that he had some previous heart problems. A really good and sad example, of why I'm going to buy a self inflatable vest for fishing/boating alone.
Prayers for friends and family.
