Tragic News

Post by Charlie »

I just learn of a real tragedy Gary Theo was killed in a marina accident last March. I wondered why I had not heard from them about attending this years AC Rendezvous. For those who do not know Gary, he was the owner of the 31 Race Boat Sheri Lee with his wife Sheri. I just spoke with Sheri and I told her I would let the Faithful know of our tragic loss.

Maybe someone who knows how can post a picture of a bunch of us taking Sheri Lee out for a run. Gary and Sheri and Sheri Lee can be seen of the Past Rendezvous Pics at www.bertramrendezvous.com 2009, 2008, 2007.

One of my best moments of that Rendezvous was taking a ride on his boat. My belated prayers to Sheri. He will deeply be missed.

So sorry to hear that.

Not a way to go...quick...but not a way to go.

Fuel and/or battery related?

Seems to have been an especially tragic weekend all around... So very sorry to hear about his passing.

I lost a good friend on Saturday morning in a car accident. She was 23 years old, beautiful, fun, and just getting started out in life headed in the right direction with things just beginning to come together for her. Two others died in the same accident here in Worcester. A horrible and very difficult tragedy to comprehend for all.

My thoughts and condolences are with Sheri, and the family. I am so sorry for your loss.
