Default End Of An Era

*** R.I.P POP POP ***

Sadly my grandfather, the man who started it all. 3 generations of Barnaget Bay boaters, passed away peacefully Tuesday morning. Although never a Formula owner himself, had it not been him or his love for the water, my father and I would not own the Formula's that we have and love today. He was a great man, mentor, and friend. He will be miss but never forgotten. Rest in Peace.

I am sorry for your loss as well.

Even though I have never met the man, it is always hard to hear about special people in others lives who pass away.

The next time I am on the water I raise my drink and toast him in the sky.

So sorry for your loss. I'm sure he has found good weather and calm seas. Here's the video Offthefront was talking about:

Thank you all for the kind words. It's been a difficult time these past few weeks for my family and I. We appreciate all the support. He was truly loved by all and will be missed, but we must continue on. Beginning of a new chapter.
