Holda Williams, the wife of missing trawler captain Delbert Williams says that family is presently planning to keep a memorial service for her husband.
The captain went missing in the Waini area almost three Saturdays ago after his fishing vessel exploded. Yesterday Williams’s wife said that the entire family is still shock and are still trying to come to grips with his death. She related that it is very hard to accept that her husband is presumed dead, and knowing that she would not get a chance to see him makes it even harder.
According to Williams, her four children are finding it very difficult to believe that their father will no longer be around.
Search officials conducted over four flyovers of the area where the accident occurred but all failed to locate the missing captain. A missing tub, in which a badly burnt Williams was placed when he was last seen, was the only thing found by the searchers. A lifeboat was also found minus the boat captain.
Keith Adams, 20, and Orlon Munroe, 19, both of Cane Grove, and George Fitzpatrick, 40, of West Ruimveldt who were crewmembers on the trawler also received severe burns about the body. Munroe received burns to about 90 percent of his body and is still a patient in the Burn Care Unit of the hospital. His condition according to hospital sources is steadily improving. They had told this newspaper that the fire started from a live sparking wire in the engine room which came into contact with fuel.
