Laurie,

I´ve just learned of your father´s passing. My deepest condolences. I lived at Shilshole Bay on my yacht SV Maverick. Denis and I were good friends. He helped me sail from San Francisco to San Diego and I intern sailed with him on Jubulant from Seattle to San Diego.
I last saw him in Seattle during his first cancer treatments.

Again my deepest condolences.
