It is still so hard to believe a man like him is gone. Bigger than life was he. His smile and generous heart, a guiding light for all to see. I so admire the love you two shared. You truly still are an inspiration. Some of my best yachting memories include you two. My heart goes out to you and all those whose life he touched. Much love, Joanne
