    Igor

    For those of you that don't know, a great fishing friend passed away. Igor Gerega will be missed by us all. Such a fine gentleman, polite and always smiling given his disability. Wish I was better at writing these things. He will be missed.

    Crossed his line once,…fixed it. Crossed him again,…(in the wind so I get a little sympathy right?). Fixed both times. I apologized. Crossed him again. My fault always, and I cut my line firsthand and saved his. I said, “I’m gonna move on down a bit downwind”. He simply said “Yes, Please”. What a gentlemen.

    Igor was a great guy, but I learned the hard way to grant him a wide berth over his casting shoulder. Sitting in a chair did not give him as much reach of most adults, so it ended up a bit of a side sweep at times.I was on his right side a little too close while we were pitching baits one day and Igor's LY caught me across the back of the head. Fortunately it only knocked my hat off. Bless his heart, Igor felt really bad and apologized profusely.I told him it was as much my fault for crowding him, but slipped over to his his left side out of the line of fire ;-) We were friends from that day on...

    Igor was a great pier-friend and gentleman. He often brought goodies (that I declined because back then I had fish remnants on my hands) and I was always thankful for the gesture. He brought WD-40 for my squeaky pier cart, which I didn't decline. When I caught extra, I was happy to share my catch with him. Here's to Igor, a great fellow that I'll remember fondly. Always nice to me/Always greeted me with what most call "southern hospitality".
