So sorry for your loss. Make sure it doesn't overcome the gain from your relationship! Thoughts and prayers to you and your family!

Ed and I have been working out the details and he will be at the gathering I’m sure.

Ed, if you don’t have anything scheduled Saturday and you're feeling up to it, why don’t you jump in the truck and come up for the day and I’ll give you the grand tour of Moose sled 2.0 and take you to lunch. I’m cleaning out the shed and may have a few things for your build.

Thanks Ken, I will likely go over to east coast on Friday directly, not feeling like much driving. Once I get the death cert. there is a ton of things to do, can't believe the list I have. Will make the run up to see you and Mel another day and want to check the Moose Sled stem to stern for ideas (pick your brain).

Susan was my beloved wife, best friend, first mate and fishing buddy. We met at Kobie Kooling, Inc., where she was a telemarketer and I was a technician. There was instant attraction. Fred Kobie, who has been my best friend for 30 years, set us up on our first date in March of 1998, and it was love at first sight. Susan and her son, Joseph Burchett moved in with me on June 1st, 1998. That week we started the Englewood branch of Kobie Kooling, she as office manager and me as me as Operations Manager.
I proposed to Susan after her heart surgery in the fall of 1998. I could not let her pass without that special bond only marriage would make between us. We married in the historical church on Green Street on March 18, 2000.
Eighteen is our special number as her birthday is on the 18th of August, mine is on the 18th of April, we closed on a rental home on the 18th and her mother passed away on the 18th of December, 2003.
Susan’s been a part of our boating and fishing adventures for over 10 years. The first time she really tried to fish, she paused and looked me in the eye and said “I get it” meaning she understood why I have boated and fished my whole life. She stated, “When you leave the dock all worries are now gone and left on land.” After that day, Susan became a part of our boat. In the last few years she out-fished all others many times. Susan’s preferred method was Rodney Rod Holder.
I have now words to describe how badly I miss my wife.
Although Susan did not receive a high school diploma, she had street smarts and could accurately judge people within minutes. Her best communication skill was with a smile. Susan had a zest for life but many times her body could not keep up with the physical demands. Susan had her first heart surgery at 8 years old while living in California. She was born with a hole in her heart and a malformed pulmonary valve.
In the years Susan spent with her parents, they lived in many places. Her father Harold was in the Navy and was assigned to the aviation division. Harold and Dorothy were married July 17, 1955 in Fort Myers, Florida. Her mother was a native of Fort Myers. Her father was born in New York State. Both of Susan’s parents are deceased.
Before we met, Susan was a head chef at a retirement home and her love of creating meals never ceased. After that, Susan worked in a hosiery mill in Statesville, NC.
I am Susan’s third husband and she always said the third time is a charm. So right she was and Susan was my first wife.

Susan’s niece, Julie Griffin writes that Aunt Sue was a good hearted loving person. She loved her family and her friends. She always tried to help everyone out and she always stayed positive. She saw the good in people no matter what happened. She loved her husband more than life itself. There weren’t many times that I didn’t see a smile on her face. She was always proud. She enjoyed spending time out on the boat fishing and enjoyed the time spent with her husband. Her voice always changed to a happy one when she talked about her Granddaughter. She was strong and a special person, mother, wife, sister, daughter, and Aunt.

Natecert-
Didn't know either of you, but sorry for your loss. Enjoyed the obit and your stories.
My Indiana raised wife had her first ride in the ocean in 1970 while we were dating. Transformed her to a boater on a 17' Larson, fishing and skiing. In '76 ordered our Seafari. We used to troll offshore. Now she tows me around SC lakes still behind the Seafari. After your story, bet I appreciate Anita's participation even more. Thanks.

I am Resurrection and I am Life, says the Lord.
Whoever has faith in me shall have life, even though they die.
And everyone who has life, and has committed themselves to me in faith, shall not die for ever.

As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives and that at the last He will stand upon the earth.
After my awaking, He will raise me up; and in my body I shall see God.
I myself shall see, and my eyes behold Him who is my friend and not a stranger.
For none of us has life in themselves, and none becomes their own master when they die.
For if we have life, we are alive in the Lord, and if we die, we die in the Lord.
So, then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's possession.
Happy from now on are those who die in the Lord!
So it is, says the Spirit, for they rest from their labors.
Amen.

Hey Nate we haven’t met yet but a lot of our friends will be there this weekend. I chose to stay and attack Grouper here. No comparison, I lost my Mom yesterday 18 years ago. But she is always with me, and happiest when I’m smiling. And those boys know my laugh and smile! Just spoke to Ken, please have a great weekend! That’s what those who knew us best would want. Just don’t drive after dessert!!! Haha

Michael.
