R.I.P. Captain Phil

[NCNitro]

Anyone who watches Deadliest Catch knows who Captain Phil Harris is/was. In case you don't know, he was the Captian of the Cornelia Marie. He passed away from a stroke on Tuesday. What a bummer! I have watched that show since it first started and he was one of my favorites on the show. R.I.P Captain Phil! :\

Too bad for sure.

Wasn't he put in the hospital last season for blood clots. I remember him in the hospital talking about how they could caused a heart attack or stroke as he was going outside in his hospital gown to puff on a death stick.

Yep, that's correct. Clots were in his lungs if memory serves also.

Yeah, he took a hard hit on a wave and banged his ribcage into the corner of a cabinet/table then couldn't breath. After a while, went to the dr to find he had a clot in his lung. Then they wouldn't clear him to fish for at least a season and he came back.

Considering the life that guy led, it was somewhat surprising to see the clot didn't do him in.

Sucks... I really liked that guy. I hope they keep the boat going. Really feel for his kids and crew. As ornery as he was, he was pretty good to his crew.
