Thanks so much for the links. It's obvious there are many, many lives touched by BTB and our vibes are mixed in there with bunches more! We sure hope he's comfortable and aware of how much he's cared about.
Love, Ima

I'm so sorry. May the grief felt by all of you who knew and loved him be brief, just as he would hope for you. And may your fondest memories last forever.
Love, Ima

Thanks, everybody. Stevo is holding up well. Big Tuna is being cremated and we're having a service on one of his boat captain's fishing boat. We're going to wait about a month to get everything lined up. This is good so that feelings won't be quite so raw. We're planning to sprinkle a few ashes in the Atlantic where Big Tuna caught his biggest fish ever, a 450 lb blue fin tuna. Stevo plans to have some of his dad's ashes with him when he passes away. I love this idea. Thanks again for all your love, vibes and kind words.
