Great story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never was close to grandparents as they lived like 5 or 6 hours away, just holidays and stuff.

We were city people any way from Bronx NY

My fathers dad was from Canda and did all the out door things that i like, but he would die in 1958 before I was born.

Mother and Father divorsed when I was 8, and dad was never around, so I just made friends with different people.

From the CB Radio I meet a guy and he was a hunter fisherman and he did it all!!
He was my mentor!! We fished for years toghter and he was there when I bought my first boat and we fished toghter all the time!!

Was a great relation ship!! 4 years ago after getting a Dunkin Coffee, he pulled out the parking lot and a speeder flying twice the limt aprox 60mph by the report, hit him broadside on the drivers side, he was pushed accross the car onto his wife.

Wife was bursed, But Manny would never wake up again! The Family asked me to be there for everything including the desion to pull the plug. Was the worst day of my life!!

The day it happened I went by the house to drop off some fishing hooks, he asked me to come in, and I said I had no time! and left with in 5 min, that was the last words I ever said to him! :'(

Man I miss that guy!!
