Mine died age 59 on June 26 1986 2 years after having an initial heart attack. On his last day I took him out on Lake Champlain for a day of lake trout and salmon fishing. We limited out and it was clouding up and the wind grew to an uncomfortable level so we quit for the day. On the way in bucking the rolling breakers he had a funny look in his eye. We ate some lunch then went our separate ways. I got the call that he passed at home around 11 that night. He loved to fish and it was fitting that he got to do it on his last day.
