A Letter From Tom Jindra

Dana:
I know you and your readers were among Mike Maxwell's biggest fans, so I wanted to pass along a few details of his death.
Mike died early on Thursday morning, Sept. 30, in the hospital at Smithers. He had been seriously ill for many weeks.
Denise Maxwell says Mike will be cremated. There will be no funeral or service, per Mike's wish. Denise has asked that no flowers be sent. She asks, instead, that the money be donated to the sender's favorite charity or to the Federation of Fly Fishers.
As you already know, Mike made quite an impact on our sport. He will be missed.
Regards,
Tom Jindra, chair
