Default RIP West, member U17

Lost a dear friend and forum member today after a long and courageous battle with cancer and diabetes, he was 64. He was an avid aviator and loved fast planes and cars, but hung up his wings a few years ago due to diabetes and retired from Frontier. You will be missed my friend, enjoy those new wings!

West, you will be missed by many! I'm sorry we didnt get to do another power tour together. Kathy, I'm so sorry for your loss. Words are never enough nor do they rarely make you feel better but family, friends and time can. If your ever in Fredericksburg, VA please look us up.

The Celebration was great. Nice to sit under the nose of a B-25 Mitchell!

Having West's Corvette there, and pointing West (towards the airstrip) was a nice touch. Lots of stories about West, and all the friends that were a part of his life there to give him a last send off.


RIP my friend!
