Some of you already know. Our very good friend, and leading journalist in Kayak Fishing- Paul Lebowitz, lost his 20 yr old son today to an unexpected and inoperable brain aneurism.

Please don't bug the family, though sentiments can be expressed via Paul Lebowitz Facebook.

I feel kinda funny announcing here, but he is part of us, and we are part of him.  Tragic and heartbreaking.  Go hug your kids now.

I can't imagine so sorry for your loss Paul.

This is the worst news that any parent can hear.  When you're ready Paul, NCKA is here for you.  Been hugging my kid a lot the past day.

Live your life, the way you want to be remembered. Don't have any regrets, we only get this one dance to make it count. Start at your eulogy, and work backwards.
