It's so sad when distance and time keep us out of the loop surrounding friends lives until we hear they have left this world.
Spacely, I am so sorry we did not see you before you passed. Now your long time friend Mark Wheeler "Rooster" has come to stay with you. Rooster just passed away on November 24th 2023. Another Mad Beach legendary Fisherman gone to fish in Heaven.
The Gulf will never be the same, the Mad Beach party animals are slipping away one by one and you will be missed! God Speed, Catch em' Up Men!

We met so very long ago in the early 80s when we were young adults but still kids.
Before they called you Space... you were the famous Captain Zangular!
Like no other - you had a pure soul.
You were always smiling, always kind and you will be forever loved and forever missed.

I hope you're partying with some of my other close friends from Mad Beach that have also left too soon. Love you Scott... Captain Z!
