Stu Gentry


STU
By: Pam Gunn
 
I never met a guy I knew,
That quite reminded me of Stu.
Always good for a joke or two…
And he would laugh as hard as you.
 
Kelly's in Westport was the place,
That I first saw Stu Gentry's face.
We were friends from that moment on
With Stu, you could just get along.
 
The Spring drove him to Hickory Hollow.
If you loved crappie, you would follow,
To learn the secret how he caught
His limit with the "Gentry Knot."
 
Which brings us where he spent most his days.
At  a bar named after a fishin' phrase. 
A place where everybody knew...
Everybody else including Stu. 
 
The Daily Limit had a way
Of helping you forget your day.
Above the noise, that famous laugh
Brings us all here on his behalf.
 
No, I never met a guy I knew,
That quite reminded me of Stu.

In the 1970s, the former 'night manager,' Johnny Ray, posted a sticker on this cabinet without permission! 
 
Look what it lead to... 
 
Now it takes special permission to even think about posting your insignia on this hallowed ground.
