RIP Bazz.
Bazz was responsible for putting the first TFF bass tournament together over 20 years ago. He was a moderator for years, and a very helpful member on this forum. Prayers up for his family and friends.
The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/09/full-13-25328-gco.jpg)

[quote=RedRanger]How old was Charlie?He would have turned 70 in September. I had the great fortune to be one of his shipmates on numerous offshore tuna trips. He was always on the fall trip that several TFFers make.. 60 hours on the Scat Cat out of Port A.We have a trophy that is given to a person each year, voted on by the fishermen. One of those friends, Joe Livingston, died in 2015 in a private airplane crash. I was just told the trophy is going to include Charlie. The Joe Livingston - Charlie Williams Memorial trophy. Our November trip will have a huge void without Charlie. I can't even describe how much I looked forward to fishing with him each year. I'll miss him dearly. I'd gotten accustomed to him texting me the goofy YouTube links regularly. Last November Tom and I were struggling to install a new cup on the above mentioned trophy. Charlie was walking by and noticed. He stopped and popped the trophy together in 2 minutes. Yes, his name is going on the trophy. I hope he and Joe are planning a tuna trip together right now. See you in the near future buddy! ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2025/04/full-51255-267552-2019_ge_tuna_trripcharlie.jpg)

Another great man gone way too soon! He was a great friend! This saddens me. Rest in Peace brother! We will meet again one day! Save me a fishing spot next to you!
I was really looking forward to fishing with him this fall on the tuna trip. We have been fishing those trips since 2005ish era.

It hurt me to read that title. Every one knows how well liked and respected Charlie was. He was definitely one of the major contributors to the TFF for many years. Rest in peace old friend
