Ocean Point Column
May 29
By Maryellen Bertrand
I begin this column on a sad note, William”Bill” Kaynor
father of Kate Turpie passed away May 19 at the age of 99. Many of
you may remember his visits to Ocean Point over the years with Kate’s mom .He thoroughly
enjoyed Ocean Point and whenever you would meet him he always greeted you with
a great smile. We send our condolences to Kate and her children and
grandchildren on the loss of their beloved father and grandfather.
A Memorial service
will be held on Saturday June 7th at 2:00 for Fred McIntyre at the
Wilson Memorial Chapel. A permanent website has been established in Fred’s
honor at www.hallfuneralhomes.com.
On a happier note Julie Irmischer Bowes and her sister
Krista Irmischer have just completed a major renovation project of their home,
The Villa. Julie writes that the project began back in 2013 when they held a
Tag Sale, which proved to be quite successful.
Julie and Krista donated all of the proceeds of that sale to the OPCT.
They also donated all of the clean landfill from underneath
the house and the barn to their neighbors for various projects.
They employed the talented team of Larry Reynolds and Steve
Fleck to restore the interior of the house and they are happy to announce that
the restoration is complete; the vision of their parents Jeanne and Rudi Irmischer
is now fulfilled.
Julie has created the “Ocean Point Pendant” and is
currently accepting orders. The pendant is available in gold, silver or
platinum. Pendants ordered by June 10 will be ready by mid July. A part of the
proceeds will be generously donated to the OPCT. Please visit Julie’s website
at http://www.JewelTreeLLC.com/OPpendant.html for more information on this item and her other
incredible pieces of jewelry; her website is amazing.
The docks are now in and there are a couple of boats on
moorings. Slowly but surely Ocean Point is coming alive with people. Joan Libby
is here with Jan and John Todd. Pete and Barb Newell are here and report that
Gus and Barbara are doing well. Roger, Lisa and Zach Slayton are here with new puppy Thea.
It was great to see Krista Irmischer out rollerblading
around the Point. I’m sure there will be a lot more news to report after the
holiday.
Have a great week.
