Just saw that they released the names of the people who flipped a crab boat near Bandon on Saturday. On board was William Lamica aka No-Yaks here on NWKA.

Bill was a really nice fella. He helped our HOW chapter at the Sportsmen's Shows and took some beautiful pictures at a few events before moving to the south coast.

Keep her right side up and out of the cabbage Bill.  Thanks for everything.

He was a great guy and did all the pictures at the first TBMD. You'll be missed Bill.

I never had the privilege of meeting Bill, but from his posts on the forums it sounds like he was a great man. My prayers go out to his family with the sudden loss.

Bill made good contributions over at OFF, safe to say that lots of us that are active over there will miss his posts...roger

What a shame.  I didn't know Bill but I looked forward to his posts and pics.
