Please pray for my family :)
My grandfather passed today at 93 an incredible individual. So smart and cool. I once listened to him talk to me about the proper way to hold a rod for pitching based on the relation of the arm and wrist….even though I’m sure he never fished a day in his life I’m only sad that he never got to see me compete in an Elite tournament……God bless you Papa!

Crankbait your loss brings great sadness to my heart.
Wow, what a great Man your grandfather was! The world unfortunately is the big loser here. Agan what a great man! He truely worked hard to bring us all together as a SINGLE race and from my research, A GREAT COACH. It's kind of nice knowing there is going to be an Olympics in Heaven, hope there's fishing too, I'll take any info from him that he's willing to share. Please give my regards to your family and my prayers are on the way.

I just watched the video link about your grandfather and all I can say is not only is this a terrible loss for your family, but for the country as well. He impacted the lives of so many people in such a possitive way. He will be truley missed.

Loss is always difficult. My condolences. I know for me, I've found that certain people have helped shape my life and as a result, have helped me become the man I am today.
