Lost ice fishing buddy

[cnypanfisher]

Just found out my friend from here Tom shields (Tipsy Mitzi) passed away last year. The last time we fished in Chaumont we beat the perch up real bad for 2 days, A couple days after that we fished Oneida and he iced his first walleye at the very end of the day. He also got A monster burbot, he thought he had A 10 pound walleye on his line. Less than a week after that he came down with some form of meningitis, and was hospitalized for 2 months. While he was in the hospital in A coma his wife passed away, and he never fully recovered from his bout with the meningitis. The drugs they used to save him almost destroyed his liver, and there wasn't A whole lot they could do I assume. I suppose he may have passed from this ordeal or the effects of it  last year, he will be sorely missed. Even if he caught A dink perch he had A grin ear to ear from it, really good stuff. Tom and his wife were good people to me, wish I could fish one more time with him for sure.

cny  I  believe  you'll fish with your  friend  again  until  then  every time  you catch  a  fish  even a  dink perch   give  it that grin !!!!  may  God  bless  and  my prayers  ....

As a pastor I often remind people to focus on the years of friendship and to be thankful for the friendship.  Lost will happen to all of us but the good memories are the most important.  Would you be willing to share a good or funny story about ice fishing.   I live 50 min west of Albany if you need a temporary   buddy.

 If I can assist you or anyone else please feel free to drop me a line.  God bless and my prayers are with you.
