I am truly sorry for your loss. I hope that my words are in some way a comfort to you and to your family. If you ever feel like sharing any of that poetry, please e-mail me. I would be honored to read it even if you would rather not share it with the reading public.

Joe loved to fish more than anything. He grew up fishing the Coosa River north of Wetumpka, my grandparents had a house on the water. I can’t tell you how many rods and reels were given to him as gifts for various occasions. The day he died he was trying out a new lure.

Joe was a poet and wrote many poems about water, the sea, and it’s strength. He had seen a man drown before, he never forgot it.

All I can say is get out there and fish and enjoy this beautiful world….

The tide rips along on the lagoon side as well, but about the worst that can happen if the sand shifts on you is that you take a dunking. Good thing my billfold is always in a ziplock bag!

He hid it from me until he could read it all and get the facts. He was so afraid that it might be you. Once again, you’ve scared two old people half to death. As if hurricanes and sharks aren’t bad enough, now I’ve got to worry about undertow!!!
