Gene Ruark - REQUIESCAT IN PACE

Meg Rock on Thursday September 29, 2016 06:15PM

I am saddened to report on the end of an era with the recent death of Gene Ruark.  As owners of Ruark's Marina, Gene and his father had a long history of involvement with FBYC.  Until recently, Gene was a member of FBYC.  From the 1950's they supplied the Club with committee boats;  the first boat was "Black Cat", a converted WW2 utility boat, and later a bit more seaworthy craft named "Wild Cat".

A celebration of Gene's life will be held at 1p.m. on Saturday, October 1st, at Clarksbury United Methodist Church in Deltaville.  Interment will follow Zoar Baptist Church.

Ted Bennett, Commodore
