In honor of our dear departed comrade John J. Garrett III, our race commodore Bob Todaro took on the task of decorating his boat with flags, and inviting club members to join him in several fly-bys of the Buoy Bar as a demonstration of our sorrow and to celebrate John’s life.
It was an exciting trip in 32 MPH winds that included an accidental jibe, but it ended safely with heartfelt discussions and toasts to his life.
I can tell you that the exercise had enormous meaning to John’s sisters, and although there is no need to thank Bob for taking on the responsibility, I can’t tell you how happy I am that you did what did.
John, we are toasting you for being you. May you rest peacefully and continue to be a reminder of a carefree spirit.
We thank you and miss you.
