Bobby and Diane-

I am sorry about the recent loss of your Dad. I will always remember the great fishermen of the WSCC and Rolf, for sure, was one of the best! We never ceased to raise his blood pressure and bring him a bit of anxiety when the 'kid crew' got together during those 'good 'ol days'. He had a great smile for all who came his way and an even greater fish story to pass along. He lived his life well and he will always be with you!
