Passing of a Friend: Mark "Wabbit" Eager, RIP
« on: April 13, 2015, 08:44:01 AM »
 :salute to my former squadron mate, Mark "Wabbit" Eager (not "AKWabbit"). Wabbit passed away on April 5th, after a long battle with various medical conditions. Mark and I have known each other since the Warbirds days, back before Aces High was even conceived. He was part of the AH beta test crew, and when we formed an a Warbirds squadron, The Buccaneers (which we carried over into AH), he was a founding member. He was also a talented writer, and he and I co-authored a book of short stories titled, "Echoes: An Anthology of Warbirds Fiction". He is survived by his mother. Prayers please for her, as no parent wishes to outlive there child. God bless. :salute

Sabre,

Sorry to hear about the loss of your squadmate.

If it's the same Wabbit I remember running into from time to time, he seemed like a very friendly, helpful guy with great sense of humor.  We used to kid each other about our handles.

I wish there was a flag at half staff emoticon.

Regards,
Wab

Thanks, Wab. He was all that, for sure.
