Passing of VSRA President, Bill Crow

VSRA Members, 

It is with the deepest sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Bill Crow.  Bill passed away Friday, October 24th. 

Bill has been our President for 13 years, and he was the finest leader we could have asked for.  Despite the sorrow of this tragedy, we are beyond proud of everything Bill has done with the Association and for us.  Bill's passing will leave a mark on this Association and the entire ship repair industry, being a testament to his wise leadership and kindness. 

Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with the Crow family during this incredibly difficult time.  Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. 

We, the VSRA staff, will pass along any details regarding arrangements and opportunities to honor Bill's memory as they become available.  Please check our site in the future, as we will post any new information here.  In the meantime, we will continue to be the Strength Behind the Fleet, just like Bill would have wanted us to.  We will do our best to make sure Bill's legacy lives on. 

Thank you, 
The VSRA Staff
