My condolences to the family and friends of this family. I cannot imagine the pain that the son is going through at this time. My sincerest hope is that “IF” the other boater was impaired with alcohol or drugs that he will be punished to the fullest extent of the law. So often people feel they can handle their alcohol when they are on the water and often do not realize how much they have had to drink or whatever while they are boating.
