Dick Talleur Dies
More sad news in the fly-fishing world: Dick Talleur has died. I just received an email from Marla Blair, with the following included from Dick’s sister-in-law:
It is with great sadness that I must tell you that Dick Talleur died … February 18, 2011, after a brief illness, at the age of 79. Dick suffered an infection as far back as last November, that eventually spread to the heart muscle, and he died of congestive heart failure.
Dick was so well known in the fly-fishing world (and I do mean world), and his presence via his books, speaking, tying and so much more, will indeed be truly missed. My sincere condolences to his family, and my sincere condolences to his close friends, as well.
