The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Ed,

Kris, the kids and I were very sad to hear of Cathy's passing. Our best wishes and condolences go out to you and your family... we know how it is...

After intentionally not having my uncle, dad or I out of town at the same time in over 2 years due to my grandpa's poor health we decided to take Bailey up the Colombia to catch a lunker sturgeon for her 13th birthday (last Friday). We drive up Wed and were fishing/catching Thursday afternoon when the calls started. Grandpa wasn't doing well and my dad and uncle were asked to come home to Redding. Horsefly and I were going to continue on with the 4 day trip as there had been several false alarms at home but at the last minute we decided to run home too and started the long ride home. About half way we received a call from my aunt, who had been with grandpa all day, telling us that he had passed. We all felt bad but knew that we had all said our goodbyes over the last few months not knowing when the time would come.

Let us know if there is anything that we can do for you!

Take care Partner!

Troy, Kris, Bailey and Wyatt
