The Sculpin King

You can rest in peace now, my friend.

What?!?!    He wasn’t very old.   I remember him fishing with his kid on his shoulders and it didn’t seem that long ago.  What happened?  If you don’t mind.   RIP.

So confused.

According to his FB page he is ok as of 6 hours ago.

Leonard has been battling stomach cancer for 5 years.

He was in Cox here in Branson Sunday.  I went to see him about 8 pm.  15 minutes after I left, I got a text that said he had passed.  Got another text an hour later saying he had not.

I guess in the meantime, a relative jumped the gun and posted on FB that he had died.

Can you imagine reading your own memorials on FB... he actually has been giving a gift not many people receive, not to mention a reprieve from death.  He is still terminal and on hospice care.

Poor guy, I hope he finds peace and isn't suffering or too sad. 😔

Yeah, I hope he's doing alright.  Got to night fish with him below the dam a few years back.  Pine Squirrel nymph or bugger . . that was his fly if I recall.  Nice guy.

Saturday MAY 4th at the Pavilion is the day to meet and tell stories from 1pm-3pm.

Perhaps we call it the Keeney Pavilion ?
