Linda Louise Simmons McIntosh

The world lost an amazing woman this past week! My sister, Linda Louise Simmons McIntosh, is now at peace and in fishing heaven. After an amazing career in Hawaiian real estate, Lin traveled the world, mostly solo, experiencing all the world had to offer. She helped build a school in Africa, while in the Peace Corps she worked on a water project to bring water to the villages in Kenya, saw the gorillas in Rwanda, walked the Camino in Spain and research on the ancestry of the Simmons family took her to Europe to find and witness the birthplace of many of our ancestors! Lin was an awesome sister, great advisor, and the ultimate adventurer. Big game fishing was her favorite sport which she introduced me to at an early age and we fished together around the world. Love you Lin! Aloha and “tight lines” forever!
