[Rhodes22-list] Rummy

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

This is a shock. After his bypass surgery last year I thought he was good to
go for a few more decades. Rummy was a real character and one who gave life
to the list. Somehow I can't get over the suspicion that we will get a
message from him any time now telling us we are all wrong about him - again.
I hope so.

Since selling my Rhodes, I have not been on the  list, just a silent
listener.  Rummy helped me (actually, I was his gopher), rewire CelticLass.
Only return he wanted was a couple of bottles of Mount Gay.  If Rummy had
the time, and you needed his help,you got it.  He helped me transfer my boat
from Big Water at Hartwell to Lake Lanier.  He drove from Anderson, S.C.
to help me with the re-wiring.

As much as possible, owners need to create a "Rummy archive" of suggestions,
answers, to questions, and any other information he shared with the fleet.
Such a file will he invaluable in the care and sailing of your Rhodes 22.

I will miss you, my friend, and was blessed to be in the Rhodes fleet with
you for the years I owned such a marvelous craft.  You, your family, and
friends are in my thoughts and prayers.

RIP Captain.

Claude

I don't believe I get all the List e-mails so don't know if the lack of
any concerning Rummy's passing is due to my not getting such mail or
because none were posted due to some sort of tradition or silent respect
or whatever.  Not being bound by nature to any such rules:

Rummy had the best sense of humor of any Rhodie, OK, with one exception.

Rummy was the most generous and most accurate with his advise to all
other Rhodies, with no exception.

Rummy was a sometime adversary; in private always a friend in a mutual
admiration society.

Like many of old time Rhodies, I will miss him painfully.
