Today, we celebrated the life of Thomas K. Ling at the Seattle Yacht Club. Friends and Family traveled from all over the World to remember Tom and share stories of his full life. Tom was a long time Hobie 16, 18 and 33 Sailor. Tom's Daughter Cheryl Ling, Norma Horner Ling, Wife of 19 years, and his Brother David Ling, plus many of his friends shared memories and stories of Tom's life.
Fair Winds Tom, from all of your many Friends.
Tom will be missed particularly in the sailing community.
Many of us in Seattle had the opportunity to visit with Tom and catch up with him just a few days before his passing. He was in Seattle with his Holder 20 competing in the annual SYC regatta, SOCKS. The true competitor that he was, he won the event against a VERY talented group of sailors.
A winner to the end!!
