The celebration of life for Gwyn was attended by over 400 people on Saturday. It was a great tribute to Gwyn. Thanks to Gwyn's friend Don Ball, owner of the Best Western for putting this on and providing the room and the refreshments.

Wow!So sorry to hear about this. :(

I didn't even know Gwyn had passed away. I was out of town when it happened.
Thanks for bringing this thread back.

RIP Gwyn.
It was an honour to share a run with you on a couple of occasions.

Thanks I got to say a few words on Saturday. We are getting a Rotary Trail bench, by Lickman Rpoad in his memory near where he caught his last steelhead on the Vedder. I was there that day with him and he made one cast to catch the hatchery.

We had no trouble rounding up the needed funds to finance it.

Many of us that were at the Boxing Day Derby yesterday certainly missed him as he organized this derby a number of times as well as caught a few fish on derby day.

Also, thanks to Nick and his wife for making a Christmas wreath that we placed on the memorial bench that his family and others put up at Lickman Road on the Rotary Trail a few weeks ago. The pictures I took are on the FVSS Facebook page, please take a minute or so to view the bench and think of Gwyn when you are fishing in that area.

My condolences to you Chris.  It was a pleasure to have met you.  My prayers to you during this tough time.
