Sad to hear of Bomb's passing. He and Cay were always very good to me being the kid next door in Dayton, Ohio.

I knew my cousin as Sonny. On one of his trips to Texas he took me, my dad and my son, Collin, for a ride in his plane. He let Collin sit in the front and act like he was flying the plane. Collin was only 7 at the time. He's 17 now and will always remember that day.
