RIP Fred Hartley

It saddened me to to find out Sunday that my mentor in the RC boating hobby passed away over the weekend.
Fred Hartley was 87 years old and I will miss boating with him. He was instrumental to the Badger Model Boat Club in Somers Wisconsin for decades.

I am sure he is already running boats in Heaven.

aha.. shoot.. he was a huge part of racing in our district and he was just a fun guy.

Sorry to hear this.

RIP Fred

God Speed Fred. He raced in Florida nearly every winter and was a "snowbird" member of the Tampa Club, at least since the early 2000s. He will be missed.

Missed seeing him this winter in FL, got no reply when trying to connect with him. We go back a long way to when he worked in Flint for GM. RIP my friend!

Fred was a really good friend of mine for MANY years. I always looked forward to seeing him at the pond and catching up with him.

Fred always took the time to say hi followed by good conversation.....we always got along great.....he is yet another boater/racer from the old days that i will miss who made model boating personable just by being there. Godspeed friend.
