My sincere sympathy on the loss of your father. I've known him and your mother a long time and I know that he was a good man, who did the best that he could for you. I know he loved you alot and wanted you to be happy.

Hey mike, I'm sorry to hear
Hey mike, I'm sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. I always enjoyed flying with your father. We flew many trips to New Jersey while I was working with Jamesway. During those trips he was a teacher and a tease, he would call ahead to the radio control tower and request something silly, that I would have to perform with the aircraft. He was a great pilot and a good brother-in-law. I'll miss him.
Your Aunt Cathy and I are here for you, If needed.
Love, Uncle Gary
To Son Mike

Mike, Words could never tell
Mike, Words could never tell you how sad I was to hear of your Dad's passing. He was a good man in which you should be proud. He took me on my first airplane ride and was the only pilot that I would let fly me. Forget any sad or angry memories and only remember the happy times. He was so proud of you since the day he found at that he was to be a father. If you should run short of memories, call me and I'll share mine with you. Stay strong. Be proud. And call me if you need me. I'm am always here for you. I love you, Aunt Cathy
