I'm sorry to hear about his tragic accident and the loss of a friend

Some debate about that. Coroner found some arterial blockage and felt it might have been a heart attack. In talking with the guy that recovered him and researching myself, it could have been a Shallow Water Blackout. He shot a pretty hefty yellow and it wrapped a rock in 60 ft. He surfaced and hyperventilated and went back down but didn't return. While he was 68 years old, he was the picture of health and seemed very well prepared for the long haul. Swam at least 3 miles a day when he didn't dive. Had the fat content of a piece of hardwood.

Rossman,

So sorry to hear about your friend. Life has its twists and turns.

I think he was a lucky man to leave this life, charging... Hope he
gets to keep going.
