This goes out to all you who have known Patrick Plickert (Topstroke) here on OGF over the past years. Patrick passed away today after a two year battle with cancer. Patrick was a good fisherman and friend, and always willing to help others in deed or with advice. Due to his illness, he hadn't posted much here lately, but Patrick spent many a trip out on the big lake since the late 70s.

Patrick served in the US Army, and was in the first Bradley through the berm into Iraq during Desert Storm. He was a gutsy guy, electing to go in with a malfunctioning night optic when nobody would have faulted him for standing down. He showed that same guts and determination in the last two years and never gave up.

Now, his mission complete, could ya’ll hoist a brew, and say a prayer for Patrick and his family. If anyone is interested, I could pass any arrangements here when I find out.

Condolences to his family and all that he touched.

Don't know how old the pic is but he looked to be a younger man and it's so tough to lose someone, anytime, but when ones' life is in its' prime makes it much harder to accept.

I tend to live by the concepts that "WE" are not the ones' in control" and "NOBODY gets out alive".
Doesn't make it any easier when someone known passes, but never lose sight of reality.

Very sad news Jeff. I had the pleasure of meeting him and his family at our fish fry with you a couple years back...what a great guy who enjoyed his walleye fishing. All he kept saying at the walleye wisdom seminar is that he hoped he could get out there a couple more times. Well Jeff you went with him as much as his body would allow bud. I know that he will always be out there in that Grady with you guys in spirit. Give my sincere condolences to his family. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

 

[Workdog]

Thank you all! I will pass on the kind words to Patrick's family.
