"Ruby, I heard from Rhonda of the passing of Spike - just how fragile life can be. I am sorry for your loss. The boat, "Virginia Girl" in in good hands with me here in Hudson, WI. Spike knew what he was doing with engines. He was a master mechanic in the truest sense. He will be missed as he was a good man. "
