My uncle Eddie turned 80 last month out living two of his boys .He fought in a war ,was a outstanding golfer . Father to five children . When I was growing up he always drove out of his way to pick me up for his fishing trips . In 1984 we went on a three week fishing trip just the two of us through six states . When I was in my twenties and being a royal .... up . He never passed judgement , he just kept taking me fishing and called me once a week . He has always been there for me and I for him . I hope everyone has a fishing buddy . I will miss mine .
