Benefit for Cindy Rutnik and children

Post by turqsea »

Recently we lost Amos Rutnik to a tragic car accident so close to his home. The whole island has been in mourning for this St John native. He touched so many lives with his kind, generous spirit. The following is information on how you might benefit the family left behind. This Sunday there is a sunset cruise aboard a beautiful catamaran and if you are on island this will be a beautiful celebration and benefit. Please participate, if you can.
"Amos was without life insurance and Cindy and the children are needing to make some tough choices about where and what to do next. In an effort to lessen the burden of those choices and to support her in a tangible way a Benefit Cruise has been scheduled for Sunday evening on Kekoa catamaran. The sunset cocktail cruise leaves the National Park Dock at 5:30 pm and returns at 7:30 pm. Tickets of $100/person for adults, $20/person for children 3 - 12 and free for those under 3 are all in support of Cindy and the children.

Reservations can be made by emailing sailkekoa@gmail.com or call 340-244-7245. Please include the number of spots needed

Kekoa has generously donated their time and efforts to provide this cruise, Rhumblines and Mathayom are providing ample food, St. John Brewers will provide beer, Tropical Focus will be offering photography throughout the cruise for families and T-Bird, Brenda & Whistler Doug will harmonize acoustically for the 2 hour sail.

There are still 30 tickets available. Please pass this on to anyone you think might be interested in participating in the cruise. This sail is in direct benefit of Cindy, Cristian and Jessica. It will alleviate an enormous burden. Thank you for your kind consideration. This is a time when the coconut telegraph is really needed."

Amos leaves a large hole in St John. His quite demeanor, and gentle spirit will carry in my memories of him.

Amos, I am so glad you loved Jesus. God speed brother.

And forum family...you may not have known Amos Rutnick, but many of you know of his family's benefit softball tournament used to raise scholarship money for local children. His sister was Ruby Rutnick, which the tournament is held in her honor annually. Amos gave of himself to St John continuously. He will be missed.
