He had fished the Alabama gulf coast waters for 26 years. We spoke to him just last month, three weeks after the gusher in the gulf started changing everyones way of life. He ended his life with a single gunshot on board the boat he loved. In Orange Beach there was a prayer and a moment of silence at the weekly meeting to discuss the disaster. Mayor Tony Kennon had no doubt who was to blame for his friends death. "To think that we lost somebody because of a selfish, faceless, corrupt corporation's actions and I do attribute it directly to their actions. And an impotent, cowardly federal government that's just left us hanging down here, just makes me sick to my stomach." Also BP offered to pay for his funeral... I really don't think he would have wanted that. |
