Not sure what to say?

Dad, Well- its been 10 years since you left this realm. I think of you often and fondly. I know you are looking out over your stellar granddaughters - they are remarkable young ladies aren't they? Whenever I feel fear- I remember you and who I am because of you- and devise a battle plan that helps me overcome any obstacles I may face. I surely would not know such strength if would not have been for you. I owe you much. SO much. Missing you- With Love- Your daughter Judith (JD- give em hell!)

My first Mentor was a USAF pilot squadron commander, and my only other Mentor was, Ron Puckett, my Supervisor while serving as a FAA Flight Test Pilot at the FAA Central Region Wichita office. You were the only pilot I ever flew with who had a natural feel for flying anything with wings, a true Aeronaut with an ability to recognize unacceptable flight characteristics, but more important conveying the essentials of survival ... Yes Ron, keep your eye on me, it's Gunsmoke ...

Dear Dad,

Your courage, determination, fearlessness, grace under pressure, wit, humor, compassion, curiosity, guts, heart and soul, and true grit live on in my blood. Thanks to your tireless unconditional love throughout the years of the life you gave me - I now will carry your torch with humility, dignity, honor, and pride. Your spirit is more free now to frolic in the winds of the vast blue sky- no metal bird needed any longer. I salute you Father for a life well lived. I will...

Dear Gail and Family: Ron is a leader of men as is also stated by others in this guest book. Ron's fame is only shadowed by his distinguished past records; now his future fame is known by all of us whom he has touched with greatness, kindness, and gratitude. Ron is the mentor of "fly low, fly fast, and turn left and WIN." As the Grace of God flourishes in the Soul of Ron, we too are nourished with the eternal guidance of the Eagle Ron soaring over and waiting for us to gather and join him....

An opportunity of living a long and fulfilling life. Ron, You truly have been a blessing in Gail's life as she in yours. God bless. Gail, my condolences to you and the Puckett Family. Kellie & Family

Ed I cannot call you no number, I want to tell you Ron loved you and many of the guys, thank you so much

Gail,
Ron was a great leader for me when I was a young naval officer.
He had the natural smarts that others often did not see but us younger guys did, He produced best when the chips were down. Great guy to have followed.
