Not a surprise...
...he had a health scare a couple of seasons ago, where they had to come in and he had to go into hospital...and he kept smoking like a chimney throughout the whole ordeal.
He seemed to be a good bloke, and presumably his sons will carry on with the fishing, but he was a bad example on how not to look after yourself.

'Deadliest Catch' Captain -- No More Tubes
Posted Feb 6th 2010 12:45AM
According to a source close to the family, doctors are "extremely impressed" with Harris' progress.
Harris had been using breathing tubes to help circulate oxygen through his body since he went down while unloading crabs from the F/V Cornelia Marie -- but we're told as of Friday, the tubes have all been removed.
We're told Harris is also regaining feeling in the left side of his body -- which had gone numb after the stroke. His motor skills are also returning to normal. Perhaps the best sign -- Harris has been talking a lot lately ... even dropping a few of his trademark cuss bombs here and there.
We're told Harris and his family have been continuously charting a recovery course with doctors and he hopes to get home ASAP.
