Passing of our leader

Friday May 16th, 2014

Friends…

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that Ted passed away peacefully at home on May 15, 2014. As many of you know, it has been a difficult struggle for both Ted and Jan since his stroke almost 5 years ago… but even so he kept on adding value to every one’s lives right until the end.

At some point in the not too distant future we will find a way to celebrate his life and achievements properly. 

Please check back with Canadian Yachting to learn of memorial arrangements.  To read more about Ted and his life visit:

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
