Bless you, my friend.
You were my Elmer/Mentor and my friend. I will miss our rag chews on the radio and my visiting you at your house where we would talk about radio equipment, flying, aircraft, our time in the service. Thank you for everything you taught me and thank you for being my friend.
Our loss here on earth is heaven's gain.
May you rest in eternal peace
