Dear Family of 68KO:

There's probably nothing I can add to what the people of this community haven't already stated in praise of 68KO. I had the pleasure of flying with the 68th's many times, (not only because 68KO was the only guy willing to put up with us sorry lot), but because he made everyone feel as though they did good.

For example, if I would miss a target with my bombing, he'd say, "Way to distract them Bumba", heheh.

If I can , to the family of 68KO, after my own personal loss, I discovered how much this community is exactly that, a community. The heartfelt help I recieved from these 'virtual' folks was, and is very real. So if at anytime when you feel the need for comforting or help, the thoughts and prayers of this whole community that 68KO held dear will be with you.

There are a lot of class acts that have turned up in AH over the years.
Some of course more than others, but few have shown as much passion and dedication to the game as 69KO have.

Like many others have said I did not always see eye to eye with him.
However I honor the dedication, and passion that he brought to the table.
He has left a high mark for many to try to follow.

Like Skernsk I will fly his Avatar today in memory.

Sue,

We all truely have lost a wonderful person in our lives. I spoke and joked with Bill weekly on the radio for years. We talked about the game but also about our personal lives. He loved and cherished his family very much. He even treated us like we were his kids, always looking out for all of us in the air and ready to help any of us in any way he could. It was kind of funny because I am old enough to be his father

I, as many others here, have lost a dear friend. I feel blessed to have known him and to have wonderful memories of our times together.

My heart goes out to you and your children. You are in my prayers!

God bless,

Jim one-eye

PS If you would like to ride in one of the planes in the memorial fly-by, I have an open seat or you are more than welcome in anyone else's plane. You can listen to the radio chatter. Myself or Jim (falcon) can help you get set up.

We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.

Sue,

There are no words to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Thank you for sharing with us.

God bless.
