Another ATV Down

[irishfield]

He got off work, headed home to the island and died. A sad deal all around...

We have all joked from time to time of what some people will do out there but when someones life is lost, the only things imho that should shown are kind words and condolences for the family involved, they are going through a terrible time when something like that happens, the wife and kids may know someone who is on this board or any other for that matter, the last thing they need to hear or possibly read about is that their husband or father was whatever

 

Some things may be thought but not spoken at certain times, in life, thats just how i work

Absolutely!

But drinking and driving is idiotic and stupid. That you can't argue that someone that does that isn't.

Well - you are entitled to embarrass yourself then. Making a mistake does not make someone stupid. Everybody makes them - some people get lucky and a few get punished severely.

tragic end to a life, and you can call it what u like but the dead can't defend themselves

He was a lifelong resident of Georgina Island and was aware of the ferry channel."

Drinking and driving continually is a conscious decision not a simple mistake. If someone makes a mistake once or twice and drinks and drives, OK a bad mistake and we pray no one is injured. Drive to a bar, a party, a game or anywhere and that person knows they will be drinking more than 3 in 4 hours and knows they drive home drunk that person is idiotic and stupid. Sorry off topic but I am big on not driving drunk.

Yes but that area was open water only a couple days before.

Tragic but he got turned arround in a storm at night & ventured too close to the ferry channel.

This area was effected by the ferry route.

RIP George.
