'Deadliest Catch' Captain -- Tribute at Sea

Captain Phil Harris is receiving the most distinguished honor he never wanted to get -- a makeshift memorial at a spot dedicated to great fallen fisherman.

Ever since the "Deadliest Catch" star passed away earlier this week -- friends, family and fans have created a shrine in the Skipper's memory at the Seattle Fishermans' Memorial in Washington, just miles from Phil's home.

So far, we're told the family is still working on funeral arrangements.

Captain Phil will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends. I got to meet him and i really enjoyed talking to him for 15 min. He was a hard worker and he had a great sense of humor.

Loved him and will miss him soooo much! Our prayers are with his sons and family. He had a rough and tough job...only for the bravest and after I saw the first show I never thought twice about the price I paid for crab! Be safe and God be with all of you fishermen on and off the boat!
RIP

A few years back, my sweet baboo, ex-hub, called n said he felt bad, would I come over. Got there and he was the color of tobacco spit. It was Memorial Day weekend. We ended up spending about 2 1/2 days hanging out in the ER and Diagnostic Radiology Dept. waiting for the word. On the wall-hung TV, Most Dangerous Catch was playing 24/7. Etc. etc. He had pancreatic cancer. Had the big surgery and lasted about 2 years. But when times seemed bad, we would look at each other and think/say, 'at least it's not as scary as what those dudes on Dangerous Catch do.'

RIP Capt. Phil and RHO

It really chaps my ass when they say someone has fallen. That implies something negative. Phil Harris, whom I adored, passed away. I know it's not a positive thing but we should honor his life. I am. :o)
