Sad to hear and Rest in Peace, Sir. There is a man almost his age at my flying field and he is a treasure trove of knowledge. When we fly we are carrying on the legacy of passed hobbyists is how I like to look at it. I actually just purchased two planes from a relative of a hobbyist who passed away and so his passion lives on. When I will be gone I just hope younger guys will still be doing it.
