Hello All
I wanted to share with the Classic Mako family that my father passed away yesterday morning. He was 85 years old and had been battling Alzheimer's since 2008. While his memory had robbed him of his Mako memories he passed with his family surrounded by photos of the Mako's he created. I shared this website with the stories and photos of our boats finding new life and it thrilled him to think that something he had started so long ago still mattered to people. Thank you all for letting him see the results of his labors from all those years ago. Mako owners have always been a special group to my family and I felt you would want to know that while he has now passed his legacy will always remain in the boats you fish and with the memories you make in them

Brett & family. Please accept our deepest sympathies for the loss of your father. Your dad and your family were instrumental in building a much larger family on a world wide scale. Because of your father's passion for boating and family many of us here have cultivated great friendships and been able to share time with our family and other families that wouldn't have happened otherwise. Thoughts and prayers are with you guys.Hello All
