Cynthia - I was very saddened by the news of Kilo's passing. He was a true friend - and a shipmate with character, honor, and a great sense of humor. He was committed to making Naval aviation better for all the young pilots out in harm's way.

We met years ago here in DC when I was at NAVAIRSYSCOM in Crystal City and he was at the pentagon. We worked on similar programs. Both of us being naval aviators, we naturally began to tell war stories, etc. And, although his name sounded...

Cindy,
We were so sadddened to hear about Kilo.. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Tina and Beth Ann are on there way up. Please know, if there is anything we can do for you, or anything you might need, don't hesitate to let us know. Keep in touch with us. You are not that far away.
