Elton Rust

Dear Mary Carol and Family,
I was so very sorry to hear about Sonny. I know he will be truly missed by all of you. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Sincerely,

Our prayers and thoughts are with you all in this time of sorrow. He will be truly be missed in the San Antonio Aviation Industry.

While I was in highscool in about 1957,I worked part time for Rusty.At that time he was the Negley's pilot.He was very good to me.
Rusty was probably the worlds best pilot ever.

I will never forget the sight one morning thirty five years ago of that twin engine Beechcraft racing down a narrow, rolling runway in a driving rainstorm, and taking off through the notch cut in the riverside cypresses and into the very low clouds. It was awesome.

Godspeed

How will north San Antonio know when it is 5:30 to 5:45? There was a Twin-Bonanza to notify them every working day on its way to Sisterdale. He will be sorely missed by all.

I didn't ever get the chance to meet "Papa" although I feel as though I know him. The stories about family, flying and his fun loving nature have been the source of much laughter.

There is one thing about this man that I do know... He raised one of the finest men I have ever had the honor of knowing. That's a legacy he can be proud of.

At this time of sorrow, our condolences to the large & loving family of Mr. Rust. We will keep you all in our prayers.
In sympathy,
Wayne & Terry Carter

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. To Laura, Kerri and Jeffrey, may the memory of your dad be with you throughout your lives. As he is now with God, may you be blessed to have him pray for you all on earth. We had some good times when we were young and I have fond memories of those days. God's blessings to you all.
