Gladstone Ferguson, a member of the Centreville Seventh-day Adventist Church, Nassau went fishing in the Nassau Harbor near Paradise Island on Thursday night, September 6, 2007, at about 8 o'clock with two others.  Around 10 p.m. his little 17-feet boat was struck by a vessel, and he was thrown over board.   The other two (Wenzel King and his eleven-year-old son) survived.  The Defense Force patrol boat and Sea Rescue personnel did not find Brother Ferguson's lifeless body until the next day (Friday afternoon, September 7, 2007).  He was 78 (Born March 1, 1928).  We extend our sincerest condolences to the entire family, especially his wife, Viola.  (Brother Gladstone is the father of Elamae Graham, Ethelyn Ferguson, and five other children.)  Funeral services will be on Sunday, September 23, 2007, at 12 noon at the Centreville Church.
