Aaron Bocknek -- 1960 to 2016

Post by P-Dogg »

With texts and phone calls unanswered, I got the idea to look for Aaron on Facebook today, and discovered that Aaron lost his battle with cancer this morning.


He always got a kick out of me saying that my best boating buddy was a gay man I met on an internet chat room. Aaron you will be missed.
I needed a less expensive hobby, so I bought a boat!

Here is a picture of Aaron when he joined us for the Blue Angels airshow for the Naval Academy a couple of years ago.

Well, tough news. Rest in Peace Aaron. Darn it. Knew he was fighting a pretty big challenge the second time around.

Aaron joined this forum in early 2008 and had over 2000 posts, many of which related valuable info to others relating to the TriCabin line of Trojan boats.

Thank you P-Dogg for letting us all know.

My thoughts are with you today I received this bad news. You and I shared a special bond between cancer patients. You fought the good fight and we feel the loss of you to our little community of boaters. RIP FRIEND.

Wow - really sad news. When i first bought my tri-cabin he wrote me email after email helping me understand SeaDog's systems. Knew he was battling a recurrence but didn't know how serious it truly was.

He will be missed.
