Default Lost a dear friend today.

Gary Osborne a real close friend and gyro pilot has passed on, Plugs and tubes where removed around 8:00 am today and he passed with in hr. Gary and I done flying lesions with Larry Banks about 2 years ago and Gary had a single place B8M that he was working on a VW conversion.
Gary had 2 boys (John and Ben) and We layed his wife to rest only a year ago from cancer, Gary also was battling cancer for the last year as well. His life ended with a tragic Motorcycle accident on Monday after noon and has been on life support. He will be missed, condolences to the family.

I don't think I will be able to attend the chapter 56 meeting this coming Sat. due to funeral arrangements, I am truly sorry for those that wanted to see my gyro, Maybe next time.
