rip capt phil harris
 

anyone who's a fan of 'deadliest catch' knows who capt phil is; he'd been dealing with not just his two young sons the last few years on his boat 'cornelia marie' but with health problems as well. he suffered a massive stroke in late january.

was that the guy who took a smoke break while he thought he was having a heart attack?

yes dell, that was capt phil.
thoughts to the harris family. sad day in the alaska crabing fleet.

man I hope the other Capts take this 'to heart' and improve their lifestyles.

I guess when you risk your life many times a year for years and years the threat of heart disease or stroke doesn't enter the equation.

capt phil and capt jonathan were easily the worst 2 on the show for life style.

if I'm thinking of the right guy that Jonathon doesn't seem to stress much or get mad but I also bet he's smoking other stuff besides tobacco. I now know who phil was and know his boys were worried about him and on him to make changes.

I think Sig(sp?) needs to calm the hell down and stop smoking.

you are right i forgot about Sig. Jonathan is one they show on the Harley. his brother Andy has the horse farm in indiana.

OK now I know who's who and if I had to go on a boat it would be Jonathon's I think the Bandit

he did decide to quit smoking one time. i don't think he lasted an hour!


these guys aren't looking to die in their sleep of old age. smoking is the least of their worries i'd think.

yep, time bandit. he and his brother are a trip!


but edgar is my favorite.

on a seperate note I love the old man from pawn-brokers. Brings back memories of my g-pa and his friends.
