| Memories of Capt. Johnny |
| I miss you Johnny Bastante. So many people wanna see your video...that I just had to make it available for the world to see. I've uploaded it here because YouTube & Facebook won't let me upload any videos longer than 20 minutes...this one's about 25...so it might take a while to start playing...like several minutes...definitely need high-speed Internet...and Windows Media Player. If anyone would like a copy of this on a DVD (recommended).... just shoot me (Tami Noling) an e-mail with your mailing address & I'll send you one at no charge. Be sure to scroll on down to see a link that will take you to a great video of Johnny created by Robert Arrington. |
| This world sure is different without you, Johnny...but when my time comes...I will die with a smile just knowing I'll get to see you again. Much love...Tami |

| The video clips in this tribute are from the grander he caught & released in Madeira with his long-time friend Capt. Clay Hensley back in 1997...and besides him getting to marry the love of his life, Cindy and the birth of his son, Jackson...that fish was the highlight of his life. The clips are from an old VHS tape, so there are a couple of glitches but some awesome footage. It's hard to believe it's been so long ago that he caught that fish... seems like yesterday. |
| Fisherman's Prayer I pray that I may live to fish Until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast, I then most humbly pray: When in the Lord's great landing net And peacefully asleep That in His mercy I be judged Big enough to keep. |
