Condolences, but I'm gonna have to tell off on your pop now that he's gone.

Prior to the auction we'd talked a lot on here about his CHF and prognosis. Actually, we first interacted on the OT one late arse night and got to chatting. They'd delivered a poor prognosis and told him he only had about 3-4 months to live. After getting more details, I told him that was bullshite and if everything he was telling me was correct and I wasn't missing anything, then they were either full of shite, ignorant or both. I was right and he got another opinion and shite got better. That was well before the auction...maybe a year or two. We'll we chatted even more on the OB here and he was a little down about not being able to "perform" for your mom due to side effects of meds and his doctors told him he could take any of those "magic blue pills" because of xyz. Once again, I got more details and had him send me some info and reviewed some records to make sure I didn't misinform him, but once again they were wrong. They still wouldn't help the man out.

Roll ahead just a bit and the auction came up. I wasn't his physician so I couldn't prescribe him the medicine he wanted, and needed. And we both agreed that worst case...he dies giving it to you mom one last time and that would be the way he'd wanna go anyway. (Sorry, but true...I know it's your parents but your dad was a MAN and and damn fine man and a man should get to make his own damn decisions if the risks are known). Sooooooo....at the auction I met him and your mom and agreed that this man deserved some help and I hooked him up with enough samples...off the book...to enjoy for YEARS!!!!! And they did. That's been our little secret until now and I have his permission to tell off.

So let it be known on the OB, that as of at least 2 years ago, if not sooner, Ol' Fishfighter could still lay the wood as well as any of you young bucks despite the bad heart and other shite. He might've needed a little assistance, but he was still swinging a big arse hammer!! And he died a happy man.
RIP Fish...I told you I couldn't keep a secret forever!!!

ETA-don't understand the downvotes but if the family finds it offensive, that wasn't my intention. I will delete it.

Any downvoters in this thread...well. This isn't the place. I knew Fish as well or better than most all of y'all. If I posted something, I have zero doubt he approved. We have joked about it for YEARS. I didn't mean to detract from his thread in any way. Just giving a story and sharing old times.

I can assure you, my online persona is not in this thread. I'll treasure the pirogue he built even more with his passing. So I know fish is watching and concurs. Any haters can kiss our hairy white asses. RIP Fish.

I don’t usually do the “favorite poster” bullshite. But, in this case, you, smack, are my favorite poster.
