I have included his obituary, but I wanted to let
you know, that he had a large number of people at
his funeral. He was well respected and much loved
by the people that he grew up with and knew from
his work. The first thing that a couple of them
was that he was proud to be a Joker and that he
would regale them with funny stories. He said all
you need to get through life is Air Speed,
Altitude and a good Attitude, most of the time the
latter was most important! He had Macular
Degeneration and had a friend who he asked to read
all the VHPA Aviator Magazine, he insisted on
being read every word. He was regarded as a good
guy in all respects and even the leader of the
union where he worked said that even though they
were adversaries, he respected him because he
always did what he said he was going to do, even
in instances where he had to take some heat from
his upper management.... sometimes even
threatening to resign if he thought the company
was trying to make him do something that he
considered wrong!
