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.
I don't know any of this first hand, but according to CD Smack has suffered a loss, much more serious than his boat, recently. I suspect that his last sign on was to communicate with CD.
My thoughts are with him, and I hope to see him back soon.
Steve,
I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. Please know that there are many here who are thinking of you and looking forward to hearing from you again once you have weathered this storm.
You are a character and a half, we are thankful for your contributions. My wife, daughter and myself will pray for you and your return. We are sorry for your loss what ever this may be.
Smack is one of our greatest contributors. Few of us have not had a run in with him at some stage and yet no one can deny a generosity of spirit that is pretty damn rare these days.
That so many of you, including some who have had the odd SmackSquabble, have posted kind thoughts is a measure I think of our affection for the man.
Smackers:
****ski! I'm here to do what I can. Next month will be two years since I lost Spike. I know hard times. I live with them everyday. I know there is nothing I can say but I also know that I do know the pain.
You were there for me big time when Spike died. Now it's time I was here for you. Please PM me. You can rant. You can scream. You can cry. I've tried all of it.
My prayers are with you and your family. Time will mend the soul and family and friend will energize it. You have a full battery bank here at SN waiting for your use.
Don't know what to say...know there's nothing I can say, at this point, that will make a difference....my best wishes and prayers go to you and your family, Smack.
Adding my prayers for peace & grace.
Steady as she goes friend.
