Captain Lyle Newman passed away suddenly yesterday evening, way too far from retirement and with too many things in life he still wanted to do.

Anyone who knew Lyle knew that he was a true gentleman, a dedicated pilot, a rabid Saints fan and above all, madly in love with his wife.

He had a great sense of humor and was a true wit. I was honored to be considered among his friends. He is going to be very sorely missed.

Blue skies and tailwinds my friend...

WHO DAT!
