I had the pleasure of meeting Capt. John at Soggy Dollar one day. We were there on a Sea and Ski boat anchored stern to the beach and he pulled in right next to us. I was in the water at the rear of my boat and offered to set his stern anchor for him. After his guests went off to Soggy I had a great hour long conversation with the man. I could tell from that short time that he was a great person. I'm sad for his family and friends. My condolences to all whose lives he touched.
