Father. Friend. Fisherman. Teacher. Born Jan. 18, 1947, in Swift Current, Sask.; died March 21, 2021, in Saskatoon, of a heart attack; aged 74
Murray Jorgenson spent most of his childhood in Swift Current, Sask. He moved to Saskatoon as a teenager and studied art and education at the University of Saskatchewan. His life was touched by tragedy throughout, losing his baby sister and, later, two wives to cancer. At 26, Murray began to raise his three sons alone: Wayne was three years old, Derek was 2, and I was just five months old.
In this tackle box, you’ll find everything anyone in the boat might need My dad taught me to always be prepared and most importantly, to be prepared to help. This tackle box is not new, not fancy or expensive. It is well used and well cared for like so many of the people that my father watched over: He was always there – often at a moment’s notice – to watch his grandkids , to change a flat tire or to take someone to the doctor.
In his tackle box, you will find my favourite hook: a Len Thompson five of diamonds. I used it a lot since my father kept his line out of the water so he could steer the boat, untangle his children’s lines, change their hooks and help land their fish. My father taught me that life is about helping others.
