The world Lost a PERFECT MAN

[fishpicker]

For 257 days a Member of the fishing community has been fighting a battle against Pancreatitis. He became very ill last spring while conducting scientific research on Squid. He was rushed to a local Hospital and then rushed to Univ of Penn where he has spent the last 256 days.

He was not a member of this site , But many of you might have read some of
Respectfully Yours thoughts. A Proud Commercial Fishermen That was not only one of the best Comm Captain and fishermen on the East Coast, but he spent a lot of his free time sport fishing in the back bays. He was the first to say "" I'm a Comm Fishermen and I'm also a Rec Fishermen "".

The best way that I can describe my best friend and idle is to say that he was Perfect in every way !!!!! A perfect son, A perfect Husband, A perfect father of four, A perfect captain and to me A perfect Friend and Mentor. He taught me more then just how to catch fish , He clammed me when I was upset and scolded me when I was wrong.

It's hard for me to explain how I feel , the selfish side of me is madder then hell Why ??? Why Frank ( RY ) , Why a man that has never hurt a fly out of anger, Why a man that has done anything but try to improve the world that we live in. The other half of me keeps asking Why would God want a man like this off the face of his earth ????? It just doesn't make sense !!!! Now I know what my first question is going to be. Why did you take such a humble wonderful Perfect man ??????

Please when you say your thoughts and prayers give a special shout out to The Captain of the F/V Star Brite out of Cape May the father of four , the son of Clamming Frank and my best friend and mentor. Captain Frank Carrol known to some as RESPECTFULLY YOURS !!!!!!

You have been a great teacher of life and a best friend ! I can only hope that he is looking down upon us as he is steaming toward the bell with the fish hold stuffed !!!!!

Sorry to hear about your friends passing.
He is in a better place and is fishing all year long.
Keep his memory alive and he will always be close by.

Sorry for your loss. I've been down this road too, and I try to remind myself that every time I remember that person, or use something I learned from them, or better yet pass it on to someone else, that they still have a presence here.

BTW, the answer is: The good ones get to go to heaven early.

Great answer Never thought of it like that !!!!


Thank you for all of your warm wishes !!!!! Many of you have used Squid or Mackerel that Frank caught. His boat has been a staple of the Cape May Fishing Fleet for 28 years. He was docked at lunds at the foot of Two Mile bridge in Cape May.

Again Thank You !!!!!
