99capera
« on: October 18, 2026, 08:33:36 AM »
Good Morning Hi Tech/Aces High Team,

My name is Ryan Cameron, and I'm writing about my dad, Dave Cameron, who many of you knew in the community as 99capera. I'm very sorry to tell you that he passed away on Saturday, October 17, after a serious head injury.

Dad loved Aces High and played it for decades. More than anything, he was passionate about the friendships he made in the game. Those connections brought him so much joy, and our family is truly grateful to you for creating a place where that could happen.

I'd be very grateful if you could somehow let his friends in the community know what happened, so they aren't left wondering why he stopped logging on. The only username I'm specifically aware of is someone along the lines of "Shakey".

Thank you for everything you gave him over the years.

Sincerely,
Ryan

May he rest in peace. 

He has slipped the surly bonds of earth.   

Fly high, Cap.    😢

My memory was triggered back to HS. Could be a mix up. Going to ask around with HS friends. Could swear he lived within 100 miles from me. Old age could be playin tricks

Dear Sir.
I've just heard of the sad passing of your Father, known affectionately to most of us as, Cappy. I flew with him a lot over the years, had a lot of laughs, and extremely fortunate to call him a friend. I cannot begin to imagine how hard this is for yourself and your family.
Kind regards and condolences, from across the pond.
