Two of our family Cross The Bar on January 23, 2020
Our condolences to the families of Joe Nickerson and Chris Pinkham.
Captain Arnold Nickerson IV, known by most as Joe Nickerson and crewman Christopher Pinkham tragically passed away when their fishing vessel the Hayley Ann capsized on January 23, 2020. Joe was a fourth generation lobsterman who had over 50 years of experience on the water. He was a loving son, husband, father, and grandfather. Chris leaves behind his loving wife and two beautiful young daughters.
Go Fund Me pages have been set up for both families. If you would like make a donation please make a selection below.
