Barry Pyeatt Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 I went back to visit this gentleman before I leave here for the mainland at the end of this month. I was very surprised to find that his home had been boarded up and a "For Sale" sign was hanging on a post out front. I tracked down his neighbor the following morning and asked him what had happened to his neighbor. Seems he had a massive heart attack right after I had met with him and was dead when the medics arrived. His son had come from the mainland a few days later and had a container brought in and packed up everything (including the Weekender) to ship it back to the mainland. Gave a lot of the furniture away to friends and put the place on the market. The neighbor gave me the son's address in Nevada to contact him when I get back. I'll see what I can find out when I get home at the end of the month. Quote
capt jake Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 That is sad to hear. Look forward to you getting back to work on your Weekender!! I will be in that neck of the woods tomorrow. Take care Quote
Derek Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 That is sad. But in a way, it is nice that you had time with and got his parting story, with respect to his boat and sailing. Quote
Wild_Dingo Posted March 8, 2003 Posted March 8, 2003 Barry could you direct my attention back to the original thread about this boat and gentleman? As a "followup" I take it that you have some previous experience with them both? Tis always sad when one of the fellowship goes over the bar ... best to his family and friends and the boat of course! 8) Quote
