Here's a picture of my dad in 1961...
Once us kids were born, we'd visit a friends cottage where he taught us how to fish...
He was an outdoorsman at heart...here he is shortly before being diagnosed with cancer.
During a chemo break, he had enough energy to fish...so me and my brothers hired a guide for some Lake Ontario Lakers. This turned out to be his last fishing outing, as he passed away 6 months later. Hard to believe he's been gone 18 years now.
Thanks for starting this thread! Made me smile to dig out these pictures again!
