I'd like to thank all of you for your kind words.

 I've known Ceech [Phil] for many years he taught me how to fly in Air Warrior where he brought me into the Hired Guns. I've logged 1000 of hours over the years  in B17's with him in Air Warrior,Fighter Ace and Aces High and is one of the reasons that I'm a CM today. He always encouraged me to do more within the squad and out side of it and lead me to believe I'm a better pilot than I really em. Those that had a chance to meet or know Ceech really had a true friend.
  We have gone on many a road trip which all had to do with flying,one of the fondest memories is when we rented a motor home and went to the WWII Air Show in Reading PA. Dan bought him a flight on a crop duster watching him put on his goggles and leather helmet and climbing into the back seat for his ride. He had a grin from ear to ear and never stopped talking of that day. This is just one of the many memories I have to remember him by.

Ceech was their when you needed some helping words or just some laughs, he was more than a friend to me. I'm going to miss my wing-man for he has taken his final flight.

R.I.P my brother and wing-man.

Its always a sad day when we lose a member. Its good to see so many fond and happy memories. I think one of the greatest things a person can do with theyre life is to have a positive effect on others. My condolences go out to his friends and family.

GO NAVY!  :salute


Eternal Father, strong to save,
 Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
 Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep,
Its own appointed limits keep.
 
Oh hear us when we cry to Thee,
 For those in peril on the sea! Amen.
 
Eternal Father, lend Thy grace To
 those with wings who fly thro' space,
 Thro wind and storm, thro' sun and rain,
 Oh bring them safely home again.
 
Oh Father, hear an humble prayer,
 For those in peril in the air! Amen.
 
Oh Trinity of love and pow'r,
 Our brethren shield in danger's hour,
 From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
 Protect them where so e'er they go.
 
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
 Glad hymns of praise from land and sea! Amen.

GO NAVY! 

Stand down Ceech....stand down.
