From Josh Phypers

Hi Barbara,

Over the years I have known Trapper from the two of you happily sailing together.

He was almost always smiling and warm and seemed to always have a host of friends around him at regattas with many belly laughs going on – a real genuine man.


My family has kept him in our prayers these last months and I’m very sad to hear of his passing.

But, It feels good though – to know that after all of the racing, sailing and competing Trapper did in his life; he has won the most important competition – which is to leave a legacy that he was a really good man who was respected by all those who knew him.

He will be remembered and missed.
