Oh NO!!! Not Mark!!!!!!!!!!! SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has not been a good year. Condolences. _________________  A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension. The fact that I am dragging a body should be entirely irrelevant! A simple thank you would have been enough for the morning coffee without all that "how did you get in here" nonsense. |

Profound grief for another gyro-mate ... this morning!
 ... for breakfast!Sick @ heart & devastated for the families of Mark & his passenger ... & his good buddy Todd / Racer who flew with him frequently! Spirit-Hugs & prayers & loving thoughts for all affected ... this is beyond awful news! Mark was SO generous with his intro - flights @ fly-ins & a wonderful leader for the Colorado group! Most Worthy man& machine awardee Mentone 2013 & ROTR 2014 ... I didn't get the promised fly with him in Utah ... as the Xenon PR broke on the last day of ROTR ... he promised me a ride @ the next fly-in ... & didn't make it to Mentone this year ... as his Xenon had trailering damage! A profound loss for the Colorado group! - for PRA - for his very close mate Todd ( Racer) - especially his family - beloved grandkids who loved to fly with him... & all those future gyro-grinners who will not get a ride with Mark @ fly-ins in his fabulous yellow Xenon! .... impossible shoes to fill! Such a GREAT guy .... DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT!!!! _________________  |

This is a real tragedy. The loss is great for family and friends, but it is extended by the loss to our community. One never wants to hear of a loss, but a loss of one of the strong supporters of the cause is difficult. Very difficult indeed.
Condolences to the family and all who knew him. _________________ Jon Carleton Private ASEL Instrument Sport Pilot Gyroplane |
