Tio Leo….

It saddens me to write a post about the passing of (Tio ) Leo Correia . A man that was a huge part of my family, with multiple Uncles , Cousins and friends , fishing aboard the Pisces. My Uncle Carlos says he’s the best boat owner he has ever worked for , and says how much Leo played a part in his life .My father fished with Leo and loved it , I believe it was aboard the Christina C and the Mermaid . I used to love being in his house with his son Darrin and looking out to the Point and seeing the Pisces heading in , and we would jump in the car and meet the boat at the Dock . It comforts me to know he’s back together with his family in heaven , and like Darrin told me today ” there’s a few old men up there talking fishing stories tonight ” ….
