I always considered myself lucky to have you as a friend Red. Travel safe xxx

Dearest Reddy you have always been part of our family and we will treasure all the photos and memories we made on our holidays on the boat when Mike and Kaz were growing up. And later on the water. Fun time catch ups over in Aussie, birthdays, special occasions we shared so much. This is not goodbye it's just a bump in life. We will meet you again at the big party house in the sky....keep the beers cold and crank up the music....Seven Spanish Angels....The fun and party will never end! We love you Reddy xoxo

The smiliest, kindest, happiest of guys. Felt like a real friend the first time we met him (sea trialing Merlena) and then went on to share "boat maintenance"days with him over the last 4.5 years when Dave Lepper (our boat partner) and Red would come to work and then have a few quiet ones. We didn't know him well, but we adored him and we will miss him. Catch the big one Red, rest in peace.
