Title: Lost a good friend
Post by: cat daddy on November 23, 2013, 09:47:08 AM: I'm going to a memorial service today for Gordon Steinmetz aka Big Wally. He passed last saturday. If you have walleye fished in eastern Washington and especially around banks lake, you probably knew Gordon. He was a good friend and will be missed.

That man has a legacy! He was such a good fellow. There was always an excuse to stop and go into that store.

I pray for his family.

A writeup on his death was on the front page of the local paper for Thursday.
