Loss of a Frankfort Legend
Gene Woodside, who operated a bait and tackle shop on Holmes Street in Frankfort for nearly half a century, passed away this week.
It was my honor and pleasure to know Gene for over 40 years. When you stepped into his tackle shop, it felt like home. My brothers and I would always stop by his place even if we didn't really need anything. I would often bring my kids by and show them off; Gene doted over them like they were his own.
I wonder if 20 years from now tackle shops like Gene's will even be a thing. It will be a shame if they're not.
Rest in peace Gene and condolences to your family.
