Tammy Koshak

(as remembered by her brother, Stan Koshak)

I was always amazed at the talent that Tammy possessed, from sports to art, to academics, you name it. She could do anything she put her mind to, and do it well. 

As for a beautiful soul, I have seen her meet an absolute stranger and within minutes she would have a friend for life, she'd make them feel that comfortable.

But sadly, she had her demons, including a battle with alcoholism for many years.  The only time the demons weren’t chasing her was while she was fishing.

She loved to fish and spent many years living in Alaska and enjoying her spare time fishing on a lake or river until her death at age 32, in 1995.
