Rest in Peace. He did a lot of good work while at AAG. I was in Cashmere just last week. It's beautiful there, but flying can still be tricky because of the weather.

I was driving by Cle Elum last night on I-90 during the time he went down. It was a torrential downpour. It was coming down so hard I could hardly see.
