It is with a heavy heart that we inform you of the passing this week of one of our own - William “Bill” Schwartz. Bill was a long-time member, past Commodore and current Board Member at the yacht club. He was an active member, always willing to step up in a crisis or to just lend a hand to a fellow boater in need. Bill had a friendly smile, gentle spirit and great laugh. He will be sorely missed.
His sailboat, the Falcon was decorated with Christmas lights each Holiday season bringing good cheer and warm thoughts to the club and to of all the wonderful friends down here.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
