The morning didn't start out well as I got the call at 9:00am telling me that Paul had passed...My night time guy for several years at 44 years old and his 45th just 2 weeks away, life is not fair. This hulk of a Man who 6 weeks ago worked a Charter went home and thought nothing of it has left behind a Wife, Child and lots of memories. I will miss my Night time Crew man and Friend and all he has done for me over the years.

I spoke to his Brother Mark and hope that I will have the honor to bury him at sea, were he belongs so one day we will all be together. Glad I got to tell you I loved you last week my friend......Fair winds and Fair seas Paul.

Condons Funeral home Hwy 36 in Middletown, N.J. will be doing the service Thursday from 2-4 and 7-9 pm.

Sorry guys but I just can't think of posting a fishing report on top of this....Tomorrow.

Capt. Ron
