Got some sad news, guys...

Rebbasser · 10-21-10, 07:53 PM

Our buddy Flyrod, aka Lancer6, real name John Wood passed away this afternoon about 1:00.

I guess it was fitting I got the call standing on the front deck throwing a Senko. At least I was able to catch one for him. I'd love to be there when he and Zooker get together.

Anyway, this is for you, buddy:

A BASS FISHERMAN’S PRAYER
Almighty and all loving Father,
We fishermen thank thee
For thy blessings of thy great outdoors,
Especially for the privilege
to pursue our sport
as free men and women in a free nation.
And we especially thank thee
for thy son Jesus,
who so loved fishermen
that he chose four or more
among His twelve Apostles.
And in years to come, Dear Lord,
as each Bassin' man comes to thee,
Please remember these are a special breed.
Their spirits would not be content
to walk Alabaster streets.
Grant them instead
Clean water with a quiet chop
with enough honey holes
to last an eternity
and a Bassin' Buddy to share it with.
In Christ's name,
Amen.
--Homer Circle

God speed john wood. Amen rebb to the prayer. Rest now in peace.

BigBassin144 · 10-21-10, 09:06 PM

Rest in Peace FlyRod.

He was one of the friendliest guys on here when I joined, and I always enjoyed talking with him on here. I regret I was never able to meet him in person.

Like Zooker, FlyRod will be greatly missed and always remembered.

I am very sorry to hear this. FLyrod of Lancer was a special member that will really be missed. He was a very outspoken member that had a special way of writing. His threads were usually dripping with sarcasm, and even if you didn't agree with what he said you would almost always crack a smile when you read it. I had a lot of respect for him and will for sure miss him.

Rest in peace Flyrod.

We've lost another dear friend who will be missed. The year 2010 has been a tough year for us here. My prayers are with Johns family and friends. Gods speed John. I hope you and our other departed friends have found a heaven honey hole to make a few casts into.

Your so right Keithdog, this has been a rough year for our forum members and their families. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of them....RIP John Wood.

Rest In Peace, John.

Does anybody know if John served in the US military? I wasn't sure if he did or not.

Rebbasser · 10-22-10, 09:42 PM

Woody-he was in the military. Served as a tank company commander in Vietnam among other things.

1/4 stick · 10-23-10, 11:37 AM

So long bud. See you on the other side.

woody · 10-23-10, 11:53 AM

I thought so, but I wasn't sure. Thanks Reb.

I surely hope that John receives the full honor that he is due for his service to our country.

"Thank-You John, for defending our Country and our Freedom. I salute You!"
