Greg:

Sorry for the loss of Mr. Spyksma. I always enjoyed it when your team came to Waco to race in the old days!

My dad ran the put-in ramp and I drove the jon-boats that towed the boats back to the out-ramp many years ago.

Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
Thanks for all the wonderful words guys. My grandpa loved the races....I'd love to find more pictures of his boat racing days if you guys have any please pass them on to me...Steven Boschma

Thank you, all of you guys, that posted your condolences and such nice messages about John. His boating days were some of his happiest memories. He always said that the boaters were a great group. I'm so thankful for the happy memories!:)
