Reports From the Bridge

I just received some very sad news today.

Long time friend and mentor Hugo Miller passed away to day at his home in Indiana.

I first met Hugo when I bought my first boat in 1975 I was told that he was the guy to go to  keep my old boat running.

He worked as a truck mechanic by day and moonlighted in the evenings down on the sport fishing docks.

He was a wizard at keeping our old Jimmys running.

In later years he worked for Hawthorne Machinery by day and still kept many of our boats running by night.

I could tell many stories about Hugo, but what he will always be rememberd for most is his easy going midwestern drawl and his willingness to get the job done, even if it took all night.

Hugo I will miss you, and God willing I’ll see you on the other side.

To Suzy and family take heart,  Hugo’s spirit lives on in all who knew him.
