Thank you to everyone on this forum for your prayers and kind thoughts...our family takes great comfort from the fact that he died doing something he loved.
Hello Kitt,

My husband and I were very sorry to hear about the loss of these two fishermen. Even sadder to know that a forum friend lost a loved one. Our condolences to you and your family for your loss.

Saturday morning started out quite calm and mild and then the wind did pick up considerably. I'm sure they both were caught unaware. You should definitely take comfort in the fact that your uncle was doing something he loved to do.

With sympathy,

Celia & Paul
