Funeral services will be held Wednesday morning for George Sanders in Wakulla County.
Services will be held at 9 AM at Revell Cemetery in Medart.
A Funeral Fund has been set up for 41 year old George Sanders of Eastpoint who drowned on Thursday while oystering at East Hole.
Donations can be made at any branch of Apalachicola State Bank to the George Sanders Funeral Fund.
Mister Sanders fell off his boat near St. George Island late Thursday afternoon while oystering in nearly 100 degree heat.
Oystermen and search crews combed the bay for nearly three days looking for Mister Sander’s body.
The search included members of the Sheriff's Office, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, as well as Search and Rescue units from Gulf and Liberty Counties.
A helicopter was also used to do aerial surveillance.
Mister Sanders’ body was found Sunday afternoon near the Apalachicola Bridge by a crew working with the Vessel of Opportunity program, several miles from where he fell overboard.
Mister Sanders is survived by his wife Karen, a 17 year old daughter, and a 5 year old son.
Donations for his funeral would be greatly appreciated.
