Jody Minnoch

hey dude,
i just learned about this. you were always a nice kid to me, even when you didn't need to be. I always appreciated that. I still have the stuff you wrote in my yearbook, and I think about that advice often. I also stole your manner of smiling and stage-diving. I wish I had stuck around to know you better, kid.

Please forgive the very late entry, Jody's passing was a shock to me today that I apparently missed over two years ago. Jody was a fast friend of mine, beginning in the summer of 2002. I'm sure he was a quickly formed friendship to many, he was an extremely kind, fun, and likable guy. Jody crewed with me for Shoreline Sightseeing, even though he had a captain's license- he agreed to work for the company as a deckhand until they had a spot for him. Jody worked harder than most crew members...
