Sorry for the late notice, but tonights episode I think is when Capt. Phil dies.
 
I'm catching up on old episodes from being a way for a month. There's no way I can't watch what's going to happen, but I don't want to. What a loss. And some of the quotes from episodes leading up:

Phil: "These boys of mine need to learn how to run this operation. I'm not going to be here forever. Hell, I smoke like a chimney."

Jake (Phil's son): "I don't think I'll be back on this boat next year."
 
My absolute favorite quote from Phil;

"You can watch things happen, you can make things happen, or you can sit around and wonder waht the f___ happen...i dont want to be number three"

He seems like a genuine good soul and i really like him.
Been watching the show since the begining and i feel like i know him, real shame.
 
I haven't seen tonites episode yet, but it was very sad watching last week when Phil told Jake to get out of his life and that he never wanted to see him again.

Pick your words very carefully in this world, as you never know what will be the final impression that you leave on a loved one.
 
Very sad! His personality was the best and I've always loved his boat! Good luck to the F/V Cornelia Marie!
 
I dunno, is it just me? I'm having a had time watching a tv show where I know someone is going to die for real...perhaps even on camera.
 
The blow was softened for me somewhat when the last scene they showed with Phil and his sons together was going through old pictures and having a laugh. In the end, Phil seemed to have changed to a more supportive attitude towards his son once the son confessed to his addiction. Regardless, it's a tough thing to watch. You have to admire the bravery of the family to share this sort of thing with millions on television.
 
New Orleans is the place to celebrate the life of a loved one with the traditional jazz and Dixieland funeral. They play dirges going to the cemetery and play "Didn't He Ramble" and dance down the street with their umbrellas when returning from the cemetery. Quite a sight and very traditional.
