| Well, I've been trying all morning to come up with some suitable words to put here and have so far failed miserably. I am not a pilot, and I didn't personally know Bob, but I get the distinct impression that Bob was not the kind of guy who would just sit there and do nothing when it all started going wrong. The fact that he was able to avoid houses (Knowing how built-up areas are normaly around airfields) while dealing with his emergency, keeping his passenger briefed and who knows what else, to me, speaks volumes both about his skill and character and a selfless attitude that defines a real man. Joe, to you and your families, I offer my sincere condolances on your loss.

  | My deepest condolences Joe. I have never met him but have heard great things about him from both you and Eric. Sounds like he was a great man and will be deeply missed.

At later time I am planning to scatter his ashes over his home. I will post more info at a later date, but again your thoughts and prayers are appreciated. FBJ
