The shark world, Long Island and the movie world has lost a legend. Frank Mundus< Montauk's cantankerous favorite son and inspiration for the character of Quint in "Jaws" has died. I think he was right to be cranky with Peter Benchley, who never acknowledged that Mundus was his inspiration for everyone's favorite character.
Oddly, he did not die of a shark attack - but isn't that always the way? Mundus was 82. Click here to check out the Shark Man's website. RIP.
