Charlie Lepre, The Wolf, has passed and left us with heavy hearts and happy memories. From First Rock to Block Island, he was a classic fisherman who never tired of casting through the night then working all day. So long Charlie, you will be missed.
We can try and drive away slump or skunks, but life always seems to catch up with us and play some Bob Marley tunes while we lament a loss. This week, we say goodbye to Dick Laffey, a Maine gentleman and do away with slumps so that we can focus on how good our lives really are, no matter where we are.
Rivers mean everything to us so this week, we celebrate Spring’s rivers and riders. There’s a Trout Unlimited banquet, a new kayak lift on the Saugatucket River and sadly, we say goodbye to one of the best, Matt Wunsch. Matt was a fisherman, writer, family man, friend and all around good shit.
Everett Littlefield’s epic Spring passing was a celebration of a good man who lived life on his own terms, surrounded each day by his family, on the island home he loved. And when he was laid to rest, he cheered us on with biblical rains, storm force winds and memories to last another lifetime. So long Mr. Littlefield.
