Paul Esker Obituary
Sailing was Paul's passion, in the Chesapeake Bay and on Atlantic voyages. His expertise in navigation and helmsmanship was well known at the Eastport Yacht Club, and in the racing and cruising community.
Paul is survived by seven brothers and sisters, Fr. Karl Esker CSsR, Karen Dickhaut, Linda Esker, Erick Esker, Elaine Reed, Francine Glavy and John Esker, and his former wife Donna Esker (Carter), their daughter Savonna Atkins and grandchildren Rita and Colby Atkins.
A memorial service is planned at St. Mary's Parish in Annapolis. Donations can be made to the Eastport Yacht Club Foundation (eycfoundation.org) or the Cancer Research Institute (give.cancerresearch.org).
