To fly west, my friend, is a final flight we must all take” Anonymous

You were a father, mentor and best friend to me. You were there when I hit my first golf ball and taught me how to fly. Now that I am a parent, I see you in myself as I teach my son about life. I will always think of you when I am flying and remember the times you patiently sat their while I practiced landings and instrument approaches. I will miss you dad…
