I am forwarding this from the SubCommittee forum:
I am Skip Asay's daughter, Jenny. I am sad to announce he passed away July 15. I was able to be with him at the end. It is heart warming to read about him in your group! I was always his shadow, following him in the beginning when he was first getting started. Many times I was sent into the water to retrieve a boat. I loved hearing he was an integral part of this! I found your site because when I came to his house, all his subs were gone. I was happy to find your site and discover his boats have all found good homes. It was such a relief!
Skip was the founder of SubTech and one of the originators of model subarining in the States. He developed many of the systems that we now use to make our boats stable and fun. he was an outgoing, generous, and sharing gentleman who's contributions to our hobby are hard measure. He will be greatly missed.
