As most of you know, one of our members and moderators, Don S, passed away in mid July. Since that time, there have been many things that have come to light. Don was a special man and gave selflessly to this forum. So in knowing this about Don's life, We all felt that the truth needed to be told.
Truth is, all of the iboats forum members both new and old, along with his kitty cat sitting by his side, were his life, family and friends. Turns out Don did not have a "close family" relationship to take care of him in life, or in death. We all were his family. So in light of this news, we as an internet family have been honored enough to step up in order to make the necessary arrangements for his much needed appropriate burial at sea.
Between the moderation team, iboats host, and some members closest to Don, we were able to raise the money needed for Don's cremation. Additionally, on Thursday of this week, provided the weather holds out, one of our iboats forum members will be picking up Don's ashes and depositing them over the Pacific Ocean just outside of Ocean Shores in Washington. One of the many places he loved.
The Moderation Team, iboats host and our close forum members wanted to let you know of the latest news, along with the intended plans, so that on Thursday you could hold a moment of silent reflection or prayer of your own in honor of Don. Also, you all need to be thanked for being the only family that Don really had and enjoyed. You all helped make his life, and his memory, special. Thank you all
