He lived his life big. I admired his tenacity and he will be missed by his fans as well as his family.
I don't watch much TV but do watch Deadliest Catch. Those guys earn their money that's for sure. Damn 53 yrs. old is less than a decade away for myself. That is too young to be kicking the bucket. I should probably be thinking about some lifestyle changes myself. RIP, you'll be missed.
