In Memory Of Jeff,

I was unfortunate to receive a message this morning to say good friend Jeff Wye had passed away after a long illness, He had been battling against cancer but was un-deterred to make the most of his time being on the bank as much as possible,

I've known Jeff many years the same as many others have, he was always friendly and liked to fish the Natural Venues more than any other being a member of Weston.A.A for as long as I've known, I remember as a kid reading his article in the Angling Press fishing for roach on the stick float in the middle of winter on the River Axe up to his knees in mud! Over time things have changed a lot and most of his fishing has been on the commercials over the last few years and more recent months mainly at Shiplate Farm & The Sedges on a Sunday.

Always being keen to socialise" He loved to be a DJ in the evenings and for many years he always had a gig" Somewhere as he was that popular! I first Had the pleasure of (DJ Jazzy Jeff") at my surprize 35th Birthday and can remember it well with everyone up dancing to madness whilst' with a big cigar in his mouth and a gunniess"  was lining up the next record to wear us out! He later did my wedding reception which everyone really enjoyed and was as good as ever.

Its always a sad time When Someone passes Away but the memories are still always there and He will always be missed on the bank, I'm sure he sends many thanks to everybody who helped him over his sad illness and for the help on the bank as he fought it for as long as he could and fished when ever he was well Enough with the Special Help of his good friend and long time traveling partner Ron Stark. 

I'm sure we all send are regard's to his partner Ange and family and can all share some memories and remember him well. God Bless Buddy x
