We have known "Cigar" for a number of years down at the lake. We have a trailer by the brown store at Lake View Camping Sites. We have shared many fishing stories with him over the open camping fire. He would often stop by and share his and Lauren's latest ventures. We would pass them as we would travel through the Narrows on our way to our next spot. He was a funny little man and a good friend. Down at the lake and the Bucket he will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and your family during this time of sorrow.
