Many of you may have met Bob and Valerie Bukowski and their son Josh (Jarry) from Knoxville TN at various poker runs and gatherings. Josh passed away on Friday March 13, 2009 at the age of 20. Anyone that had met Bob, Valerie and Josh was instantly drawn to what a dynamic family they were. Everything from Josh's love of boating and boaters to Bob and Valerie's devotion to Josh instantly endeared everyone to them. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during such a tough time and know that there is one more boater in heaven waiting on us!
