With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we share the deeply regrettable news of the unexpected passing of our dear colleague and cherished friend, Andy Humphries. Yesterday, we lost not only a colleague but a passionate catsailor, an integral member of the FWC (Feline Watercraft Community), and a valued contributor as the board’s treasurer.
Andy’s departure leaves a void that words can hardly encapsulate, and his absence will be felt deeply by all who had the privilege of knowing him. Andy was more than a colleague; he was a true enthusiast of the seas, a fellow catsailor who reveled in the beauty of the open waters. His love for sailing extended beyond the hobby; it was a testament to his adventurous spirit and his connection with the serenity of the sea.
As a dedicated member of the FWC, Andy not only shared his passion with others but also contributed significantly to the community’s growth and camaraderie. In his role as the board’s treasurer, Andy brought a unique blend of dedication and expertise. His financial acumen and commitment to the organization played a pivotal role in its success. Beyond the boardroom, Andy was known for his warm demeanor, approachability, and willingness to lend a helping hand whenever needed.
The suddenness of Andy’s passing has left us all in shock, grappling with the reality of a world without his vibrant presence. As we mourn his loss, we take comfort in the memories of his laughter, camaraderie, and the shared moments that defined our time together. More information about arrangements and commemorations will be shared as details become available. In the meantime, we encourage all who knew and worked with Andy to come together, sharing stories, offering support, and finding solace in the memories we hold dear.
To Andy’s family, we extend our deepest sympathies during this difficult time. His legacy as a dedicated catsailor, FWC member, and valued colleague will forever be etched in our hearts. As we navigate the waves of grief, let us honor Andy’s memory by continuing to embrace the spirit of adventure, camaraderie, and passion for life that he so ardently lived. May he find eternal peace on the seas he loved so dearly.
