Lost a very close friend Today!!

[bersaguy]

I lost a very close friend today that I have know for 30+ years. We began as fishing partners in small tournaments and just going fishing. He was a regular coffee and Biscuit bum and was over at my house almost every morning to just shoot the poop about this and that. He was also very much into firearms and has a very sizable  collection of assorted firearms and ammo. He passed away doing what he loved. He was fishing on Dale Hollow today when he suffered a heart attack. The buddy fishing with him called 911 and told the ambulance what ramp he would take him to and he got to the ramp and there was 2 other anglers just putting in and they performed CPR on him for almost 30 minutes till the ambulance arrived. He was alive when he arrived  at the hospital but he died in the ER at the Celina Hospital. I will miss him for ever.....................

Sorry for your loss.....heart attacks are a tough thing to survive especially when it takes a long time to get to proper care. Prayers to you and his family.

Remember ONLY the GOOD die Young! Sadden to hear that the world has another empty space in its heart.

Sorry for your loss, Bersa.  I know friends like that are something that makes life great.

While I hope there wasn't any great amount of pain, out on the water with a friend and a rod is as decent a place to spend your last moments as any I suppose.

You are fortunate to have been able to share the time you had with him, and him with you. That's a Blessing good Sir.
