We learned this from The Hull Truth forums and I'm passing on this info verbatim, as he was also a member here @ Classic Parker.

It is with great sadness I report the loss of a long time member of THT. Wayne Prince (aka "FishinWuf") has lost his very short battle with cancer. I met Wayne through this board and became friends. We kept in touch via phone and email. I am glad to say I had the pleasure of his company on my last gulfstream trip of 2005. He was an excellent crewmember and a fun person to be around. He left us way too young at the age of 40. I am posting his obit for those of you who would like to know more about him. You will see that he lived his 40 years to the fullest.
He leaves behind a wife and two sons. Remember him on your next fishing trip as loved to be out on the water.
respectfully

When you next step aboard your Parker, please remember him and say a prayer for him and his family. Thank you. Here are some photos he posted to CP of his rig and but one of his young sons who has since "upgraded" to wearing a Parker hat.
As FishinWuf put it "Here is what its all about!"
