Gene Ruark - REQUIESCAT IN PACE
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
