“They that go down to the sea in
ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works
of the lord and his wonders in the deep”
We gather today in memory of
Mark O. Sekelick, shipmate, born on Aug 21st,
1955 and past away on May 14, 2006. Many of us knew Mark
very well, some only for a short while, but we all share the
bond of shipmate, for Mark sailed on these oceans and his
feet stood on these deck plates and like those who sailed
before us, and those who will sail after us, we are bound
together by the sea.
The crew of the Training Ship
Golden Bear is here today to bid a fond farewell to our
shipmate Mark. Fair wind and following seas. And as Mark
would want it. “No Worries Mate”, we will see you again.
O Lord support us all the day
long, until the shadows lengthen and the evening comes and
the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and
our work is done. Then, grant us a safe lodging, and a holy
rest, and peace at the last.
(Eternal Father)
