George Gillette will be missed.

I remember doing a fly-no-pay for him on the 747 FE position at UPS, and he was very gracious and offering to make it up to me-- and he was super senior, while I was a new-hire pilot.

We had never met at that point, but I knew his son Eric from our days building time as CFIs in Addison, Texas (ADS). They all have a Dad they can be very proud of.
