A Loss

[Kayak Jack]

I fear that our member, Bear's Buddy, Jerry Morin, has gone to the greatest paddling river in the sky. I can't get a comeback on email, and both his cell and home phones are disconnected.

I first paddled with Jerry on Lake Mijinemungshing in Lake Superior Provincial Park, Ontario. And, last paddled with him on Michigan's Au Sable Rivet. On that trip, Jerry had to pull off part way through because his shoulders were hurting him too much. The first time he paddled the Au Sable with us, he capsized two or three times. I never saw a guy who could stand up in thr river, watching his boat drifting away from him, and have such a bjg smile ln his face!

Good bye, old friend. I'll miss your smile.

Suspicions are OK but I would rather have something that's verified.

 

[Kayak Jack]

Well, I could see, and shoot him if I have to. Would that be satisfactiry?

Not really since we don't advocate violence on here and especially capital felony violence. A simple newspaper clipping or verification from a family member would be sufficient.

As you said.....I can't get a comeback on email, and both his cell and home phones are disconnected.

Basic thought , he might be on vacation , moving or simply does not want to be contacted or actually is deceased. Which is it ?
Other contributing factors he might of changed web servers ( example , from AOL to Yahoo ) and phone service ( At&t to Verizon ) with out any notification to anyone. ( I just changed phones , carriers and numbers and only 4 people have it. If someone tried the old number and can't get me does that mean I'm deceased? )
Then there is the question , Could everything have been canceled for non payment and there are a lot of variable ways for it to happen.
The question is which one is it. Speculation , Guessing or drawing an assumption the person is deceased is not factual . UNLESS YOU KNOW FOR SURE !

Delete it if you want.

Heck no , you have all of us wondering if anything did happening to Bear's Buddy, Jerry Morin.

Hopefully, like it was with Mark Twain, "the story of his early demise was greatly exaggerated"?

The Good Lord willing and if the Creek don't rise plus some luck all of us will be able to say that.

Like Samuel Clemens said, "Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated." However the computer, cable, cell and home phones succumbed (and the home itself) to a fire. Wife, myself and the pups escaped.

Jerry, I’m glad that my post was wrong. A couple of weeks ago, when you posted, I was very glad. I’d forgotten my post that you cited here.
