The Remick & Gendron Funeral Home in New Hampshire confirmed Fudge’s passing to the AP. The cause of death has not been released.
His death was also confirmed by National Geographic, which mourned his “untimely loss” in a statement. Duffy was the first-mate on Captain Tyler McLaughlin’s fishing boat, the Pinwheel.
“Duffy was the first mate on Captain Tyler McLaughlin’s fishing vessel, Pinwheel. We join his family and friends in mourning his untimely loss,” the statement read.

Reality TV fisherman dies “unexpectedly”
An obituary posted on the funeral home’s website said that he died “unexpectedly” on Thursday.
Fudge appeared on “Wicked Tuna,” which follows the crews of several tuna boats off the coast of Gloucester, Massachusetts as they attempt to catch bluefin tuna, which can fetch tens of thousands. He also appeared in a spin-off, “Wicked Tuna: Outer Banks.”
The network announced a moment of silence for Fudge on Twitter while its July 22 episode aired.
Passionate about fishing, environment
A Massachusetts native, Fudge “excelled in any sport he played” growing up, but “fishing and the outdoors” were his biggest passions. Fudge was introduced to tuna fishing at a young age by his father and grandfather.
His skills as a fisherman made him nationally competitive, earning him a spot on “Wicked Tuna” for multiple seasons. He was also passionate about protecting the environment and “took seriously his responsibility to protect it.”

His family remembered him for his charisma, which could “light up any room,” and “his smile, his fearlessness, his adventurous spirit, his mischievous sense of humor, and giving big hugs.” He is survived by his parents, a “younger” brother, girlfriend, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and “many, many friends.”
The family asked for donations to a memorial fund, which will go toward environmental protection.

Thanks for helping me to obtain new concepts about computer systems. I also possess the belief that one of the best ways to help keep your notebook computer in perfect condition has been a hard plastic-type material case, or even shell, that matches over the top of the computer. Most of these protective gear are model precise since they are made to fit perfectly in the natural covering. You can buy all of them directly from the seller, or through third party places if they are readily available for your laptop, however its not all laptop will have a shell on the market. Once again, thanks for your points.

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!|
