Lost a Friend

[bhammer]

Well, sometimes people are just lucky to leave us while doing the things they love to do...

**** was a friend and mentor when I was just learning how to soar. He was one of the few pilots who could keep up with the hawks and eagles while soaring. He was the first to allow me, as a kid (at the time) to assist him putting his ship together for the days flight. This is one of those types that you can just listen to all day with his life stories and the old wisdom...

The early reports are that he had a heart attach while in tow, managed to release from the plane and then it just went into a dive.

Re: Lost a Friend

The measure of a man is the tracks he leaves in this life and his immortality (IMO) is a better world than it would have been without him.

Sounds to me like **** was a great man, bhammer, and as you pass on the positive effects he had on your life he will live forever.
