The Saluda River Chapter of Trout Unlimited mourns the passing of John Sentell. John was a former chapter president and board of directors member. Those of us who knew him and fished with him will miss him and remember him for his wit and wry sense of humor and for all the stories he could to tell that would keep us laughing and smiling. John loved fishing, camping trips, and the outdoors.
