I'm sad to report that Ed Deaver passed away this morning at 4:50am after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. It was first symptomatic last February but not diagnosed until Memorial Day 08. He actually flew RC with us up until about a month ago when the ravages of the disease just made him too weak.

He was with his family and friends at the time of his passing. He was a master builder and avid pattern/IMAC pilot in the Master's classes. He will be truly missed by everyone! Not sure about the funeral arrangements yet...
