A good friend of mine, Freddy McCrory, recently lost his life in a tragic boating accident. Freddy was a great person, husband, father, friend, and dog trainer. He was 41 years old, had a wife and two beautiful daughters (ages 9 and 3). To read the story of the accident, click here, and here.
For those fortunate enough to know him, Freddy always seemed to know how to make you smile. He never had a bad word to say about anything or anybody, he was just the kind of person that you wanted to have as a friend, but most of all, Freddy loved his family. As a father myself, it breaks my heart to see his wife and children lose their husband and father in this tragedy.
Freddy and his wife, Lydia, were partners in their retriever training business and without Freddy, their source of income is now gone. I want to do what I can to help his family, because I know Lydia and the girls are gonna need some help right now, and I know Freddy would have been there for his friends.

I am sorry to hear of the loss of Freddy, I didnt know him or his family....but still hits home as my boyfriend is involved in Bass fishing...May I suggest an online auction as a fund raiser for the family. I actually found someone to do a website for me and held one for some friends of mine that were involved in a truck and horse trailer accident in Ohio. I was able to raise 10,000.00. I was able to get items donated throughout the united states. just an idea...and people all over can bid on items....
