It is with great sadness that we learned this week about the passing of Andre Lamothe of Naden Boats and Temagami Marine in Temagami, ON. Andre was only 58 years old and was not only a boat maker but an innovator, environmentalist, humanitarian, great employer, family man and he was very well respected within the boating industry across Canada. Although we do not have details about his service at this time please check our website for this info and a full obituary as soon as that is available.
