Dad was a lobsterman from Maine. On Oct. 27, 2007 Dad went out to bring a load of traps home for the winter,and something happened and he fell overboard and drown. His boat was found ground out on the shore just outside of the cove where he kept his boat. It was Nov 21, 2007 when his body was found up in the same cove where he kept his boat. We want to thank everyone again for everything they did when Dad was missing.

The Broken Chain

Author Unknown

We little knew that morning that

God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly.

In death we do the same.


It broke our hearts to lose you.

You did not go alone,

for part of us went with you

the day God called you home.


You left us peaceful memories.

Your love is still our guide.

And though we cannot see you,

you are always at our side.


Our family chain is broken

and nothing seems the same,

but as God calls us one by one,

the Chain will link again.
