Sandi Hampel passed away Friday
Bill,
Sandi Hampel passed away Friday. She was a dear friend of mine and
her and her husband has been on the river forever. I don’t know
about the arrangements and I know the family is very private about
such matter however, I must let everyone know what she meant to me.
All the painting on the wall at Cedar Hill was done by Sandi Hampel.
Dear Sandi,
You will never know how if feel about you. You always made us feel
great, the first time I was at Lake Center at the big Labor Day
party you came up when we knew no one and made us feel welcome. You
for the first women that spoke to me when we all anchor out in mason
shut. You are the first to show my son boobs. He is 28 today and
still talks about how good they are and you gave him peso in Mexico.
We anchored out and laughed and laughed. We have road tripped and
laughed and laughed. You taught me how to dit’s on a boat. You just
move stuff around. You gave me a great dance partner at the lake
that everyone talked about the next day, then we won Sloppy Joe’s.
Image that. You taught me how to dress the way I feel. Always good
and gaudy. But you always pulled it off so much better than me. I
can never tell you how much I loved you, how much I respected you.
How much I wanted to be like you. How good a friend you were. God
broke the mold when he made you. There will never be a more kind and
loving person on this earth. May you Rest in peace. You will be
missed every day.

Larry and Debbie Mahr
LARRY MAHR
Lost his the battle with
prostate cancer this morning.
Larry loved the river and everyone on it. As his sister
I called him the river rat
He started with a little bass boat he named the
fishermarina cramming his
now past parents, wife , and 5 kids and me. To cruise
and fish the old Mississippi.
We looked like refugee's all cramed in there crossing
the might banks.
As the kids grew older he graduated into bigger boats my
favorite the Z-Boat a black and white Crownliner.
He found his nitch of land at then Surfside Marina/ now
Eagles Landing and put down his trailer, built a dock
and it became his second home and the people at the
river became his second family.
He lived his life for the summers to start to hit the
sun and fun of the river, hit the sandbars,pull out the
coolers and settle in to entertain his friends.
Ironic that he should pass on the start of Memorial Day
weekend. The start of summer.
He would spend most of his days and nights up there all
summer. Him and his wife Debbie where alwaysready to
party, to see old friends, and make new friends.
I as his sister was up there often and just in the past
2 years thankfully had the pleasure of sharing more of
his life and getting to know and love the river like he
did. For I finally had a boat.
I got to know his friends I am known as Larry's little
sister to most.
I cannot imagine the sandbar are the river without Larry
causing trouble by trying to make people laugh. To all
his fellow river rats I want you to thank you for the
prayers and thoughts through his battle. Him and Deb
loved you all and all the good times. On Larry's Party
Barge.
He is at peace
and pain free now and he would want to say.
Happy Memorial Day Dawgs Party On.

Mark Bertsch 1959 - 2008
With
Deepest Sympathy........
Thursday afternoon long time River boater Mark
Bertsch lost his battle. Mark first began boating on the River in
1980 with a small group of fraternity brothers. In those early years
it was difficult for the financially strapped college students to
keep their old boats operating, but with continued effort and
river-rat ingenuity the group of friends was always able to get at
least one of the boats in working condition to enjoy each summer
weekend.
Throughout the years Mark had an affinity for “West Coast Boats”,
owning boats from such recognizable manufacturers as Advantage,
Eliminator, Marlin, and Sleek Craft, all with enormous horsepower.
Given his love for horsepower, Mark often volunteered as a patrol
boat during drag boat races on Creve Coeur Lake , and in Litchfield
Illinois . Although the River was always home, Mark was often seen
on the waters of Kentucky Lake , Lake Norfolk , Bull Shoals, and
Table Rock. Occasionally taking his boat on its own bottom from the
Alton Pool down to Kentucky Lake , and then on to Nashville .
Mark was a very giving person, always willing to help out a friend
with a boating p rob lem, or as an attorney entertain a request for
free legal advice. While boating was his first love, Mark also
enjoyed softball, trap shooting, and Cardinal Baseball. Mark was
preceded in death by his mother, and is survived by his father
Philip and stepmother Ana.
Mark, you will be missed but not forgotten, may the good Lord be a
shining beacon on your cruise to heaven.

Kensey Bachman's Sister
has passed away
Jessica Ellen Inchiostro
Hey there Bill its Mark from the
Duck Club.. Kensey's sister has passed. She was diagnosed with leukemia on
June 1st 2006.
The following was posted on Her
Caringbridge website by her husband Joe.
Jessica Ellen Inchiostro passed
away Thursday November 6th at 4:49 pm. I want everyone to know that it
happened in our living room and was peaceful, painless, and she was
surrounded by family, which was exactly the way she wanted it to be. Just
like everything Jessica did it was exactly the way it should be. We have no
regrets. We met this fate on our own terms and took control of the
uncontrollable. Even though my heart is broken I have solace in the fact
that she is now in at peace. No one earned it more than she did. Thank you
with all that I am for supporting us and being a part of the struggle. It
made a horrible situation that much less horrible and has given me a new
born sense of how good people really are and how much we can accomplish when
we come together. Jessica's spirit lives on in the bonds of friendship we
have forged. It is now up to us to continue her work.
Services will be held at Baue

In Memory of Valerie Barnes
Aka. "Water Woman"
Just a few weeks ago on May 30 one
of our boating friends Valerie Barnes suddenly passed away.
Valerie had been battling the fight of breast cancer for 10
weeks before she passed. Valerie was a well know person on the
river. Luckly Valerie passed peacefully in her sleep. Val had
many loved friends and family out on the river but unfortunately
it was her time. Val had a huge personality and liked just about
anyone she met. Val is in our hopes and prayers and she will be
missed.

Bob Nuelle Has Passed
Away.
One of our boating
friends, Bob Nuelle, who most recently boated out of Yacht Club of St. Louis
in the boat "Manhattan" passed away after a relatively short battle with
cancer.
Funeral arrangements are pending but will probably be up here at Kutis and
then Jefferson Barracks.
For those of you that maybe don't know, Bob had a rapidly spreading cancer
that was discovered after a traffic accident. He also contracted a staph
infection while in the hospital there in Del Ray Beach Florida where he was
living. He coped with both surprisingly well, to the point of coming back to
St. Louis to buy a car and then driving back to Del Ray Beach by himself.
Unfortunately the staph infection kicked back in, he went back in to the
hospital in Florida, went into Hospice care and died all within a few days.
Faye and John Marnatti had just visited with him this morning.
Please excuse me if some of my facts are not 100% correct, just wanted those
of you that didn't know already a little background. I will email you all as
soon as I get the funeral arrangements.
Sorry to convey such sad news, our condolences to Bob's family and friends.
