I'm deeply saddened and speechless - https://www.gofundme.com/f/memorial-for-craig-defronzo
Craig was an all around good guy. I've been trading tackle back and forth with him for years, had many discussions with him. Generous and always helpful with any info, plus he grew some of the meanest Ghost peppers I've ever eaten. I had sent him a tuned Daiwa SS700 knowing full well he was a diehard Shimano guy and joked that it was a wonder he didn't burst into flames upon touching it He got the joke and more than reciprocated with boxes of jigs, baits and hair jig tying supplies. We had also traded various exotic hot sauces as well.
I'm going to miss you my friend, my thoughts are with your family now.

Sick to hear this! Craig and I talked back and forth over the yrs. He bought a couple MajorCraft rods from me and I bought a few different rods from him. He knew I was a Daiwa guy and didn't hold it against me.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.
