The Greg Gladstone Memorial Paddle Out will take place 4 p.m. Sunday at Ventura’s Marina Park, the email states, and the event will be attended by family, friends, pro-surfers, surf clubs and lifeguards.

A local Newport Paddle Out for Greg will be held at 10 a.m. Feb. 6 at Newport Pier; afterward, there will be a potluck celebration at the grassy park next to the American Legion until about 2 p.m. for all interested, the email states..

“In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the education fund established for the Gladstones’ beloved children, Quinn and Beckett.
