Title: Chris Alk
Post by: Tye Dyed Gary on January 13, 2016, 10:25:19 AM
  It is with much sadness that I pass on to  the sailing community that Chris Alk died early this morning. He pass in his sleep, after a short fight of pancreatic cancer. Many of you knew him as the past GBCA Treasurer, the owner of Bad Girl, and sometimes driver of Foot Loose. He was one of my best friends, that would always have a smile, and willing to help. We have sailed together for more years then most aggies can count.
  I will pass on more information as I find out.
R.I.P.

Indeed.  Very sad.  One of the nicest sailors on the bay and an all around great guy.  He will be missed.
