Hey Mike, I also worked at Dow, played ball with your Dad and fished with him. I remember the trip offshore with Charlie Harrison that you came on with your Dad, Fred Lewis, their Preacher, Luther Fortenberry, Sid Womack, David Summers, and myself. We had a great time and I remember you caught a large amberjack. Great memories. May God bless you and your family and know your Dad is home.

I was sorry to hear about John. I have many fond memories of playing sports and being coached by John in the Dow sports leagues. When I was new to Louisiana fishing, he told me that there was a sac-a-lait by every cypress tree. I often think about that statement when I'm fishing!

My deepest sympathy to all of you.
