Laura Lane Bender wrote a sympathy message

“My husband, Bill and I, loved “Hap” so very much. As we grew in our boating/cruising knowledge and experience, she and her husband, Bill, played a huge role in our learning and growing. Hap was just the sweetest and dearest soul and she’ll always be near and dear to my heart. My prayers for Tommy, John, and families as you adjust to this vacuum that your precious mom has left in your lives.”
