Weve Lost A Good Man(Mike Vanguilder SR.)

Post by jbsteels »

Today we lost Mike Vanguilder SR. to a car accident. Mike was the creator and maker of the Berserk jigs. Mike retired from the turlock police force about 2 years ago to enjoy fishing, tying jigs, and traveling with his wife. Mike loved to fish tournaments when ever he could and was known as the "WORM DRAGGER" AKA - 082.

Mike will be missed by all. Rest in peace my friend..............

Sincere regrets,

Justin Steelman

I personally would like to thank you all for your responses and prayers. Yesterday I lost my best friend, fishing partner, and dad. This man taught me to fish and got me started at 3 yrs old. Air Force veteran back in the early 70's, retired with Turlock PD (27+yrs). Thats one reason I became a firefighter is because we like to help people. He will be missed. Thanks again, hope to see you all soon.
