On behalf of everyone at SailNet and the entire SailNet community, I would like to offer our deepest sympathies to Smackdaddy. As some of you undoubtedly know by now, Smackdaddy recently suffered the tragic loss of his wife in an automobile accident. While I would not be so presumptuous to pretend that anything we might offer, would alleviate his loss, it is my hope that by letting Smackdaddy know that we stand with him as a community, keeping him in our thoughts and our prayers, we might offer him some small degree of emotional comfort and shelter during this time. Smackdaddy has played a key role in maintaining the vibrancy of the SailNet community for many years. Please join us in letting Smackdaddy know we are thinking of him and his family.
Smack, sorry to hear about your troubles both on and off the water. Thanks for all of your contributions to Sailnet (and to my sailing career) and we hope to see you here soon. Best wishes. - David
I'm a very new Sailnetter and have already learned a bunch from many kind people here, including Smack. His posts were always succinct and witty--I really enjoyed his writing and sensibilities. I hope he sees that he's had an impact here on complete strangers who may never meet him, but who wish him peace through these difficulties. Many, many thoughts are with you.
I learned of Smack's boat issues last week, so I ordered some BFS stuff... Then, over the weekend I learned that there are bigger issues in his life, so I figured my order will take a while. It would be no big deal if it took a week, or a year, I'm happy to help him out.
Tonight I get the following in my inbox;

The comments for your order are: Thanks for your order! We'll get it
packaged and shipped in the next 48 hours.
My words are insufficient to express the sympathy/affection we have for you. We're thinking of you & yours. If there was anything we can do, you need just ask.
I was in your shoes 25 years ago so i understand a little of what you are facing. And i suspect that, like me, your biggest fear is for your kids. So I can ease your fears a little: if my kids turned out as awesome as they did with the bozo they had for a dad, yours will be great!
There are no words that can ease the unimaginable pain. May our prayers lift you up and send strength to you and your family.
