A day before Ross Comcowich set cruise from New York to Florida with his 18-foot motorboat, the Hopkinton High senior received an email from his grandfather, Jerry Comcowich.
The Aug. 30 correspondence read: “Take good risks and don’t fear failure. Life will be an exciting adventure.”
It was his grandfather who, after all, planted the seed in Ross’ head to go on such an exciting aquatic adventure. His grandfather sailed from New York to Florida 66 years prior, and Ross planned to go on the same trip over the first two weeks of September this year.
At least until tragedy struck.
