We are traveling and stopped in today at the South Dakota Air and Space Museum. We ran across this display: Attached File Attached File Maybe someone has posted this before, but I haven't seen it. There was a 20 inch in a display a few feet away. I had to smile. RIP. |
Man ....  He was by far one of my favorite arfcommers. We were the same age, I really struggled as a youth in almost every way. Sometimes he would post about his service, especially towards the end of his career and it would make me wonder how my life could have been better in my 20s and early 30s if I had been more like him and less of a screw up early on. I was really sad to hear of his passing. |
Put not your trust in princes, in sons of men in whom there is no salvation.

Damn. I can’t believe it’s been two years. I thought it was last year. It makes me very sad and somewhat angry that he’s gone. Especially because he had a whole life of retirement in front of him. Knowing what he was going through was heartbreaking and when I heard he passed I was very angry even though I never met him in person. If I ever am in the area I’ll visit this museum. |

R.I.P. Beamy. We are better for having known you, and miss you. Bigger_Hammer  P.S. if anyone finds themselves 'struggling' - please let your brothers & sisters here know. We may be a dysfunctional family at times, but ultimately we are a 'family' that cares about each other. |

He was a great poster and member, and I miss him even though I never had any interaction with him. He had so much to look forward to. It actually made me angry that he didn't reach out for help. Sounds weird on hindsight, but I understand and don't at the same time. It is a shame that he doesn't have an entry in the Memorial forum, but his death announcement got ugly quick. RIP Beamy |
 He's someone I still think about quite a bit, even though I never met him. Still makes me sad and angry. Can't believe it's been almost two already. RIP Beamy. Attached File |
