I found Captain Bannister on the internet, my husband an I an four of my relatives fished with the Captain for many years. He was just like family to us, a wonderful man. It was a total of six hours drive for us,but we all loved it. He will truly be missed. My Prayers to his family,and friends that loved him as well. I will always remember \"My Captain, Don Banister\"

Capt\'n Don was a great personal friend to me and my family. He has taken us out on the boat many times. He was not only a great friend but an awesome teacher to me when it came to fishing. I love you and miss you so much sweet Capt\'n Don.
