Our CO has passed away.
« on: January 02, 2007, 02:16:57 PM »
On behalf of the 68th Lightning Lancers, we regret to inform the AH community that Bill "68KO" Bundesmann, passed away yesterday. He was 37 years old.
He founded and commanded the 68th from it's inception here in AH. His loss to us is overwhelming. He will be dearly missed as a great squadron CO, a great friend, and a tireless and respected member of our AH community. Further words cannot express our feelings at this time. Go with God KO, and Semper fi! <>

When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive....  so, I took her to a gas station

Oh my god..... I cant believe it....... Just a couple weeks ago, i was flying with him on a sunday event.  I'm sorry for the loss.  He shouldn't have died at a young age.  Atleast we know he's in a better place.

Holy...ouch.  What happened to KO?  I have to know..he's younger than me, and I used to enjoy the heck out of flying with him.  Used to crack me up on the big Lightning Lancer missions...

I'll miss him...

Lord of all, we praise you
for all who have entered into their rest
and reached the promised land where you are seen face to face.
Give us grace to follow in their footsteps
as they followed in the way of your Son.
Thank you for the memory of those you have called to yourself:
by each memory, turn our hearts from things seen
      to things unseen,
and lead us till we come to the eternal rest
      you have prepared for your people,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Rest well Bill and we'll see you soon.....
