Not sure what to say?

Jackie, Chip and the entire Getz Family,

We are so very sorry for your loss. You know that Mal will be sadly missed in our boating community. He had such a strong hug I will miss not getting one of those anymore. We are happy that we were able to spend a couple of hours with him a few weeks ago. All we can say is what a great man and we are glad we had the pleasure of knowing him.

Our Deepest Sympathy

Love Kenny and Nancy

A man from a generation of War Heroes, and good people, Mal was a dear friend to all. Mal was known to be in the boatyard long before spring, when boaters were painting the bottoms of their vessels, as they prepared for the boating season.

In our early boating years, Mal would be seen in the morning going for the paper or coffee, but as time passed, he was...

So sorry for your loss.

I remember all of the good times.
