With Deep Sadness

SteveOhh · Dec 14, 2008

I hope I'm not stepping on any toes here...........but here goes.

It is with deep sadness & a heavy heart that I have to announce that we have lost one of our own. Bruce Webster, President of IEMAS, was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident Friday night. Bruce, 45, leaves behind a wife & two daughters. I have setup a memorial fund to help Bruce's family through these difficult times. Please keep Bruce and his family in your thoughts & prayers.

Kenny (pookstreet) has generously donated a LE Frag pack to benefit the Memorial Fund. There are some unbelievable corals in this frag pack & if bought separately, would cost well over $1200. Not to mention the funds are going to a great cause......................

Thanks again Kenny, you are the man!!!!!

The actual frag pack is listed in the Livestock sales forum here.......

BTW, we've raised just over $1,000.00 in the first 24 hours to benefit Bruce's family......

Another member of our community has offered some lighting equipment to be sold & proceeds donated to the Memorial Fund.
