I have known Ahab for over ten years. He was a good fishing buddy, pumpkin grower and friend. I will miss our time together. Gods speed buddy! The stripped bass are always bitting where you are know will your line always be taught! Semper fidelis!

George was a big part of New England giant pumpkin growing...he loved being at the Topsfield Fair weigh off.
He also never missed a NH picnic and patch tour.
God bless his family. Jim Beauchemin NHGPGA

This is Ahab/Geroge's Daugther (Jeannie). I'd like to thank all of you for the kind words about my father. He was a very special man who is greatly missed by many. With the help of Ahab/George's friends, we have kept his patch going. We're hoping from a little help from above :) Wishing you all good luck with the pumpkins this season. ~ Jeannie
