Read MoreI knew Dick Pobst from the Thornapple Orvis shop. That was one of the best fly fishing shops in the country in my estimation. I can still remember that first lesson in fly casting he gave on the lawn in front of the shop. He was a master angler, no doubt about it.

e was a Prince of a guy. We played racquetball at the YMCA in Jackson when he was with Aeroquip and then caught back up at the Orvis shop here in Grand Rapids. He was a true gentleman.
