Dear Son,
Daddy died because he attempted a 35 degree decline take-off without power in his airplane. He hit a rock, groundlooped the airplane and tumbled down the side of the mountain. He got lucky once before and managed to do it without incident, but the second time he tried, it didn't work out so well....we could only identify the body from his teeth which were found 300 yards from the wreckage.

(p.s. good thing he had a nice life insurance policy)
