BP promised to pay for the funeral of charter boat captain Alan Kruse from Orange Beach, who committed suicide Tuesday. Alan Kruse shot and killed himself June 22, supposedly distraught over the ongoing coastal crisis. Kruse was known as "Rookie" to his friends, and took his own life aboard his boat at the Gulf Shores Marina in Fort Morgan. He was fifty-five years old. He left behind a wife and kids. He was known as a man who would give you the shirt off his back and had a wicked sense of humor.
