GULF SHORES, Al-  For 25 years Charter fishing captain Allen Kruse made a living doing

what he loved but  the oil spill took it all away.  Wednesday morning he

reported in, boarded his boat, then shot and killed himself in the captain's

bridge.

     "This is a man who is very independent, self sufficient, proud" his twin brother Frank says.

He says Allen was stressed and depressed, tangled in BP bureaucracy over claims and the cleanup

    Fellow fishermen want the death of Allen Kruse to have meaning...to

show the rest of the world how much they're losing...and hurting. Kruse left

behind a wife, two grown daughters, two young sons and a town full of broken

hearts.

    BP has promised to pay for his funeral and the continued use of his boat.
