sako751sg Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 The old lad hasnt been that well for a good few months and been on pills that have been keeping him going.Wasnt in too much trouble but was deteriorating and this evening he took a fit and passed.Luckily we caught him in time and were all there when he took the final breath which makes it a wee bit easier. Had been speaking about getting him put down but said it would be fine if he was there for a final fish which he was last week for a 12lb salmon and he had a cast with me for a few hours this morning. Been a pleasure to have his company for many years and doubt ill ever have his likes again. RIP fella. Few pics and the first is from this morning.

sako751sg Posted July 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Many thanks for all the comments,would like to say they help the hurt but probably brings it all back a wee bit. Hes away getting cremated and Mac and i are doing a run of his old haunts next and spreading a bit here and there. Never took me for the sentimental sort but obviously not so thick skinned as i thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
