The Boisa Family of California's Central Valley was in mourning on Thursday after the loss of four people in the sinking of the 49-foot cabin cruiser Volare near Alcatraz Island on Tuesday. Sutter County resident Clifford Boisa, 79, died after being brought to shore by rescuers; his wife Jackie Boisa, sister-in-law Carol Boisa, and a family friend remained missing and are presumed dead. The U.S. Coast Guard suspended the search for the missing boaters on Wednesday evening.
"We were getting ready to go out this morning on our boat and she called and let us know what happened. And she was very distraught, so, as you can imagine, I'm sure," Ralph Boisa said. ""They were in the middle deck and all of a sudden they realized the boat was tipping over. It was capsizing. We don't have any idea why. But everybody that was in the cabin was struggling to get out. Pounding on windows."
Boisa disputed an account he heard on news reports that his brother was "in over his head" piloting the boat, and noted that his brother served in the U.S. Navy and was familiar with San Francisco Bay waters.
As of Wednesday evening, Boisa had not spoken to John, but said that when he does, he will tell him not to blame on himself.
Boisa, who said he was a former pastor, said that his family has experienced multiple tragedies over the years and that prayer and their faith have helped carry his family through the adversity.
Ralph Boisa said "it was so surreal" looking at news reports of what happened, and that when he's seen news reports of other peoples' tragedies he has always tried to remember they are real people who impacted other persons' lives.
"I want people to know that these were real people. Good people. Family people. Loved their wives, loved their husbands, loved their children. Loved their whole families. And they will be missed."
