Thorry Gunnersen November 29 1940 - February 4th 2018

We are sad to announce the death of Thorry Gunnersen, nephew of our past member, Margaret Gunnersen Thomas. Margaret was an active and generous member, who initiated the William Hoggan Thomas Prize, now the Gunnersen Thomas Prize.

When she died some years ago, Thorry took on the responsibility of donating $1000 each year towards the Thomas Prize in memory of Margaret.

He was an enthusiastic supporter of the ASV in this way and attended many of our Annual Shows. 

He was a successful businessman and an adventurous sailor who remained a sympathetic and approachable friend of the ASV.
