The hard part is for piemma,Sandman ,Mike an few other of us is that more fishin buddies we know or knew are not gonna be run into in the middle of the night or at those out of the way spots we fish.So many i learned from are now gone that the fishing is deffinitely not the same.
I still remember the ist time I met Tim while fishing with Bob Pond in the 70's at Napatree.I was just a kid then.Gladd I've got the memory just sad he won't be on the west wall this spring to remember it with.

I've been away for a few days... wow.. I can't beleive it...
Rest in peace Tim.. you were one of the good ones.

I guess we all need to be "those guys" now to the people coming along, even though I know I'll never be "those guys" in terms of what they knew.

Has there been an announcement on services yet?

Just catching up. RIP Tim Coleman. Thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends right now.

I have not heard but DZ will know. I'll email him

There wasn't that much fun back in the late 70's early 80's - piss poor economy, a bleak outlook, the threat of a nuclear war hanging over everyone's head.
Narragansett was post-Armageddon in the winter. People in south of Warwick did not embrace the disco culture - at all. It was bleak. The chance to get together with a bunch of cool guys who were active and in their prime and to fish for money - that must have eclipsed a lot of lives with respect to true enjoyment.

I wonder if 40 years from now people will say:There wasn't that much fun back in the teen's - piss poor economy, a bleak outlook, the threat of a terrorism hanging over everyone's head

Hey Joe, that's not true. We ran to The Back, smoked joints and crushed bass all night. Some of the guys did that go fast dust to stay up for 3 or 4 days but most of us just caught fish, sold fish and had a great time.:uhuh:

TMI :rotf2:

Another Joe Classic :uhuh:

It's interesting the nostalgia for those just exiting the stage left and you don't see the new players coming on stage right.

Tim sounds like a very interesting person to have met...too bad. RIP.

Spence - he was one of those guys you meet that you know you are better for having met. I did not know him well but my few conversations with him were always great.

Deep Hole I think?

Came across this...Charlie Soares article in the Herald

OUTDOORS: For Tim Coleman, it was all about fishing - Fall River, MA - The Herald News

Thanks for sharing Jim - that article gave me more insight into the history of Tim's life outside of fishing.
