Sorry to learn of Jack's Passing . I am looking at one of his Magnum Spear Guns with a big Riffe Reel and break away tube on my office wall right now. He was the father of spear fishing and used to Bad Mouth us Tankers as he calld Scuba divers. I dont beleve he ever used one . Wonder what ever became of his Very Old Classic home made Surf Board that hung in His Garage up on Capastranno st . But used to trip with Capt Bill Johnson on the Scratcher or sand Dollar whenever I could afford the luxury of one of those trips. . Those old guys are all Dearly Missd and they just dont make them like those guys very often these days . Hay thanks for the chance here to give my regards...Frank....out

No I don't. I think I've read it, but I forget.
I hope it was at least 80 though, since I'm 70 and don't want to quit.
I remember a post about the passing of one of the fathers a year or two ago. Thought it might have been Jack Prodonavitch but a search didn't reveal it.
I am a great fan of the book "Last of the Blue Water Hunters" by Carlos Eyles and there is some nice history including pics of the Fathers, of which Jack was one.
Personally I hope that when they ask of me when I've passed on, "When did he give up diving?", they reply "The day he died".
