Location: Hixson, TN | Norman Neel (Labman) passed away on October 14.
He and I enjoyed fishing together and became friends. He loved striper and smallmouth bass fishing. One of his experiences had been as a fly-in guide to Canadian lakes.
He passionately accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior when he suffered severe health problems. At that time he wrote a beautiful testimonial on the CFF.
A memorial service will be held at 1:00 pm on October 24th at Hixson Presbyterian Church.
Please pray for his wife Judie and family.

Location: Georgetown, TN | Norman and I talked all-things-with-teeth for a long time. Shared a lot of conversations about fishing in Canada and how to catch toothy-critters here in our area. Saddened by this news |

| Well put Dad. I was lucky enough to fish with you and Norman on the River one time. It was a “smallmouth day”; as you would say.
The two of you had some great trips for sure.
Life is fragile.
