Floyd Fisk - pop was my father-in-law but so much more than that he was my best friend. We hunted and fished and did everything to you guys can do together. We were inseparable. He was one of the greatest men I'll ever know and I will always love him dearly and miss him everyday. There is no way I can ever go on a fishing boat or go in the woods and not know that he is right there with me. I love you Pop. Billy
