This obituary is about the man who I went fishing with a caught my first trout: CFFA Members: It is with great sorrow that I report to you the passing of long time CFFA member Jack Marchesseault. Jack died on Friday 10 May in his boat on the Thames river less than 2 hours after leaving home to go fishing. He was fishing alone that day. His rods were not completly rigged yet. Some one noticed his boat drifting on the river apparently with no one in it: when they pulled up to the boat they found Jack down on the deck, apparently the victim of a heart attack. Jack was one of the most enthusiastic, generous, and knowledgable fishermen one could have ever known. He was the total outdoors sportsman. His frequent contributions to CFFA: fly tying at meetings and at the Fly Tyers Round Table, stocking the Willie, as an instructor in our classes, and as an all around asset to our organization.
