Wow...what a sad deal.

I certainly hope his family can recover...45 is pretty young. I guess he's got two sons.

I saw that over in GD.

Keep the pointy end forward and the dirty side down, luvpilot.

Very sad. It sounds like he led a full and rewarding life, which is really the best you can get. God bless.

Sorry for your loss.  . He will be missed.

Thought this seemed appropriate knowing his occupation.

"High Flight"

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air....

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace.
Where never lark, or even eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
- Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.


John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
