I don't know if any of you knew deaner or not, I did. He post mostly over on the main crappie board. Anyway I found this on the MDWFP forum a few minutes ago.

RIP Deaner

Paul (Deaner) passed away this morning at 11:35 a.m. He was diagnosed with Acute Mylegenous Leukemia Janurary 21st. He went to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson that day and started an extensive treatment of chemo. He had several set backs. From January 21st until today Feburary 11th, he received 30 pints of blood and 31 units of platelets. He went to sleep around 1:00 a.m. this morning and never woke up. It was a very peaceful end. His handle was deaner. There will have a memorial service at the Moore Funeral Home in Wiggins, MS at 10:30 a.m. February 20th. Thank you so much. He reallly rejoyed talking with all of you on the forums.
