Stretch 12 Years, 3 Months ago
|
|
Hi Everyone Stretch's Wife Here, It's been a time of sadness and happiness. Doug(Stretch), our Tall Hero is no longer in pain and free from his long term illness. He has been battling with his heart failure. The goal was for Doug to be strong enough to accept a heart and lung transplant. Doug was amazing on his fight for so many years. And the last stages changed our path to make Doug comfortable My husband passed away on Thursday, August 2nd. There was no pain. We are having a Celebration of Life for Doug to enjoy his humor, fly fishing, stories from family and friends. The date is August 19th in Felton, Ca. at the Oak Tree Restaurante. We invite everyone to come celebrate Doug's life.  |

My condolences to you and the family. I never knew that Stretch was having problems, but that just the type of guy he was. He was always smiling.

"Rivers course through my dreams, rivers cold and fast, rivers well-known and rivers nameless, rivers that seem like ribbons of blue water twisting through wide valleys, narrow rivers folded in layers of darkening shadow, rivers that have eroded down deep in a mountain's belly, sculpted the land, peeled back the planet's history exposing the texture of time itself."
— Harry Middleton (Rivers of Memory)
"Each night as I haul myself onto the back of county garbage truck no. 2, there is a familiar wind, some thread of moonglow or starlight, a splatter of dark rain on my skin, something that stirs my memory, and again, if even for a brief moment, I am on some mountain river, some stretch of bright water, full of possibilities, including the possibility of trout, perhaps one that, when hooked, will haul me in and out of time, in and out of life's mysterious and frightening, wondrous and incomprehensible continuum, even to the edges of the universe." -- Harry Middleton
