David a real good friend and fishing partner of mine for 25 years died last Sept at 46 years old. Our last trip fishing together in the early summer we found a new bottom spot to fish that were covered up in gags and c. bass he mentioned at that time that when he died he wanted to become part of a reef. Finally after many months I was able to take his ashes that I made into a monument out to his fishing spot. Saturday was the perfect day… pulled up to the spot and caught blk bass all day 14-19" no trash fish and only one shark… when it was time to head to the hill he was lowered to his final resting spot, he will be missed but I will visit everytime I head offshore.
wow…thats all that I can say…thats really special Ed…I had a good friend who was a patient of mine too (Mike Chance) who lost his battle a few years back also…way too young…I learned a lot from him about strength…and boy was he able to make me laugh too!!!..( I once put nemo fish stickers all over the ceiling in his room and convinced him that he was hallucinating after a procedure he had…told him I didnt see anything…even had two other nurses tell him they didnt see anything either when he called them as we knew he would…we had a great laugh over that one :), and he never let me live it down…he gave me a old hat to wear fishing and I treasure it…take it with me but afraid it’ll get lost so it stays in a safe place…but every year I take a pretty rock and write his name on it and leave it somewhere in the green water…in rememberance of him…
That was real cool. I did not know your friend, but I’m sure he is looking down with a great big smile and talking about the great fishing folks here in Charleston. Way to go man and great pics.

We think alike…I have a set of numbers marked near the SouthWest Bank called “graveyard”. I told the family to mix my ashes with a bag of redi-mix in a five gallon bucket. Take me out and go fishing…I like your style!

I told my friends/family. Just to take me out to the ledge, sew me up in canvas(last stitch thru the nose, just to make sure!) with a old cannonball at my feet and slide me over the side! just make sure I got my boots on!
