CorneliaMarie | Crab Fishing Vessel on Deadliest Catch

I will miss Capt Phil Harris of the CorneliaMarie. Over the past few years I have grown addicted to the show The Deadliest Catch. On Tuesday, 2-9-10, Capt Phil Harris passed away due to complications from a stroke. I have copied the statement from http://www.corneliamarie.com/ below.
