I was very saddened to hear today that my good friend died. Last I heard from him he was going up to Anchorage for some treatments. Obviously he kept the pain to himself.
We first met back in the 90s on Air Warrior. He was in my squad there. After that broke up I followed him into the Birds of Prey and then to Loose Deuce.
Our friend ship started because of this online gaming thing and it grew when I got to meet up with him at the Air Warrior convention in Indianapolis around 1996.
It was funny, in the game he would get pissed off and rage quit almost daily. In real life though he was a fun easy going guy. He loved to laugh and have fun. We shared a native heritage and had many things in common even though our lives had taken totally different paths. I got to share a couple of vacations in Alaska with him. Good memories. Dinners, beer, fishing on his boat. My family, his wife Sheri hanging out having fun. Good friend. He is missed.
