All Honor to His Name

10-20-1942 to 08-08-07

The man that taught me that airplanes were cool, the man that helped me spark my interest in aviation by dragging me along to the airport, and the man that encouraged me to reach for my dreams, has flown into the western sunset.

He was a man of unparalleled wisdom, an unending supply of compassion, an unlimited supply of 'old man strength' and possessed of a deep faith in Jesus Christ. He lived vicariously through us boys and our careers and beamed with pride when he spoke of us. He was a loving husband to his wife and set an example for his children to follow. He was a friend, a brother, and most of all, a father.

I love you dad. We'll miss you.
