The Death Of A Friend

Scott Keatly, known to Scuba Radio and World Of Boating listeners as Single Scott, passed away the past Sunday due to injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.

   I did not know Scott as well as Greg, Bill, and other members of the radio shows but I did have the pleasure of making his aquaintance several times at the old studio and the last time I saw him he was with Bill and I as we were doing interviews at the DEMA show in Orlando last year. From the stories I heard he had a zest for life whether it was traveling to his next dive destination or scuba diving for treasure in the Keys.

   I know his presence will be missed by all that had the pleasure of being in his company and my heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and those that only knew him as a voice on the radio. He was so much more than that. I only wish I could have had more time to get to know him better.

   “A Joyful Dive”

As you strap on your armor one last time

and descend into the blue

Into a world of silence

color and hue

May you dive forever

and be at rest

As you swim among the creatures

no more a guest

Forever in a peaceful world full of life.

May you rest in peace and may God bless and keep you close.
