Today, June 18, 2013, Sector NY South, 1SR and the US Coast Guard Auxiliary has lost a great comrade and shipmate. John Farrell, Division Commander of Division 2, Sandy Hook, NJ lost his battle with his ailment crossing the bar. His fight was a long and arduous one that he met head on with the doggedness and tenacity that was John Farrell himself. John, where you are now, there is no pain, there is no illness and there is no suffering. There are only safe harbors and calm seas. You sail with the angels my friend and deservedly so. Rest In Peace...
