Swannie Gay, Beach Buggy Member #
4103. Swannie, a retired 17 year veteran of our
Naval Forces was responsible for starting the
NJBBA’s take the Vets fishing program 10 years ago.
She collected clothing for the 200+ vets at the home
in Vineland and wanting to do more, she joined with
Ron Patten of the NJBBA to create the event which
has become a twice a year event. Swannie loved
fishing and was a caregiver to any stray animals who
were lucky enough to come her way. She leaves her
three sons, Edward, John, and Michael, 10
grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, and a special
friend and companion Ron Patten. Ron with NJBBA
honors her memory by carrying on her commitment to
the Vets. We are all thankful to Swannie for giving
us the opportunity to "give back" to our courageous
men and women. All who volunteer always leave with a
new respect for our vets and with a renewed
commitment to continue the fishing events.
