FLYBOYJ´s new sortie

[Thumpalumpacus]

I am devastated at the moment. I will post more when I get home, but it is with a very heavy heart that I tell you all that Joe past away last night. His daughter and ex called me.

I need to digest this, but I will post more when I get home.

I was not close to him, but my heart goes out to all who were. Blue skies and tailwinds, brotha.

Bloody awful news. He will be missed.

 

[Shortround6]

We are diminished.

In spirt and heart.

 

[WARSPITER]

Always there for everyone with advice from a true knowledge base.

I'm sure you'll get a new set of wings that will let you fly free forever.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Too quick for me to digest

 

[fubar57]

Dammit, it's not supposed to be like this, not yet. Thoughts are with his family and friends

Requiem in Pacem, FLYBOYJ.

 

[JDCAVE]

I am sad. He was very kind to me personally and at the same time, he didn't suffer fools. It happened though we didn't suffer the same fools, so had we had that in common. I shall miss his guidance.

I woke up to this news just now...
Don't know what to say. We knew things were not looking good, but I didn't expect this. We've lost one of our family.

 

[Micdrow]

Damn this sucks, prayers to his family, I met Joe at adventure, very cool guy and will be greatly missed

 

[Escuadrilla Azul]

Just wake up for the day and saw Chris post. I'm in disbelief, every thing too fast.

Condolences for the family and all of you that know him.

He was a great guy. I didn't came to know Joe in deep but he was so friendly to me that I thought of him as an old friend.

Thanks Chris for all the efforts keeping us informed and big hug for you.

Picking Biff post, maybe we are in time to make a crowdfunding for whatever Joe wanted for all the forum members that want yo joint it.

 

[Marcel]

Joe was part of the beating heart of this forum. He and Chris are the longest serving members of the forum team.
This is an enormous blow.

 

[Snautzer01]

My most heartfelt condolences to his family.

Can not believe this. One of the guys is awol.

 

[Lucky13]

We toast our faithful comrades
Now fallen from the sky
And gently caught by God's own hand
To be with him on high.

To dwell among the soaring clouds
They knew so well before
From dawn patrol and victory roll
At heaven's very door

And as we fly among them there
We're sure to hear their plea-
"Take care my friend; watch your six,
and do one more roll… just for me."

 

[Wayne Little]

can't believe it that just ruined the day....

Condolences to Joe's family.....

 

[Gnomey]

Such terrible news to hear. Joe really was the beating heart of this place and will be a huge loss.

I'm saddened that THIS event is what is bringing me back to the site after being away for a long long time. Joe was a warehouse of knowledge, a foundation of this website, and a great guy to pick his brain about aviation. I wasn't as close to him as Adler or Wurger and others but we still had a few private conversations many years ago. Most importantly he was a good dad and a good man! Joe, you will be missed tremendously!
