For those friends that were not in the area and do not realize what happened - I just wanted to let you all know since it must come as a shock.

 He left us doing one of his favorite things in life!  He went out fishing on the Gulf and never returned.  His boat was found but he was not on board and the coast guard was not able to find him.  On Thursday August 18th the search was suspended and he was officially declared Lost At Sea.

Although it is painful and difficult for those of us left behind, I believe that if he had to choose his way to meet the Lord, this would've been at the top of his list!
