Crossed the bar...John Seed

[Jason Davis]

An old shipmate of mine from the late 1950's John Seed of Grimsby, UK died recently from a brain tumor.
John was an extermely active man right up until his death. He was in his early 70's and still regularly played ice hockey. We served together for several trips on the Africa Palm as fellow AB's and had many adventures.
We had renewed our friendship fifty years after we first met. It was a wonderful experience and I am sorry to lose this precious connection with the life we had at sea during the best years of the British Merchant Navy.

May he rest in peace......Jason Davis

Crossing The Bar
by Lord Alfred Tennyson

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
