So sorry to hear of this tragic event! I met Justin at Antique Boat America when Peter first hired him. What a talented young man! He wasn’t just a coworker but a good friend. I will miss him until my journey is over.

Justin was a smart, hard working, and genuinely nice person. He served his country and his customers equally well.
He will be missed by anyone who had a chance to know him.

I am so sad for the family. Justin just finished up some work on my 1930 Chris Craft and we talked about his new business opportunity and how I might help him get started. Never met his bride but we are just so sad for them and theirs. May they be blessed in heaven and rest peacefully.
