Sorry to report that I just got some sad news from Florida. Terry Blake who was a weekly listener and frequent caller to the show passed away last Friday following a motorcycle accident. I knew Terry for many years prior to his move to Florida and he was always very supportive of our efforts at putting together Regular Fishin' for Regular Guys radio. He said he loved listening because it reminded him of good memories of life in the upper midwest.
One of my fondest stories of Terry was his account of going ice fishing for the first time walking out on the ice in jeans and cowboy boots! You can imagine how well that turned out. Terry had the gift of not taking himself too seriously and loved a good joke even if it was at his own expense.
While I'm greatly saddened by the loss of a good old friend I'm sure Terry would be one to say "hey dude, get over it, that's life and none of us get out alive". None the less he will be missed as a friend and I always enjoyed his calls to the show with his reports from Florida. Condolences will be sent to his wife Marge who is a great gal herself.
