Father's Surprise Leaves Sailor Speechless
As if the sailor's return home wasn't special enough, something special was waiting for him in the parking lot after USS Hampton docked in San Diego.
Every year when the weather warmed enough, Ronald Bloss Sr. would tow his fishing boat to the river. The Pennsylvania man would spend all day on the water. Bloss died of cancer Saturday at age 78, but he took one last boat ride. His family brought his boat to the Diehl Funeral Home in Mount Wolf and hoisted Bloss' casket aboard his johnboat for one final trip to the cemetery.

Surely someone might have already hung a sign on the headstone that says, "Gone Fishing".
