Passing of Gary Mc Laughlins Father

All,

We have been informed today of the passing of Gary Mc Laughlins father, Robert.

As you all know, Gary is the guy who is always there at the marina to catch a line or lend a hand when lifting out and painting. The man with the pressure washer, the marina guy!

I am sure you will keep Gary and family in your prayers and offer your condolences.
