This is never an easy thing to do. When a friend, and fellow Hang glider pilot, passes away the whole community suffers because of it. Sometimes it's harder than others. I took this picture at a Toys 4 Tots party a while ago. Happier days, to be sure. Bob is shown here with Candy, his wife.
A lot of people showed up for the wake, shown here before the ceremony.

Candy receives the folded flag here, while they played taps.
Stacy, shown in the above picture, takes off on a tandem during the ceremony.
Family and friends gathered outside to watch Stacy take her Father's remains on his last aerotow to 5,000'.

As Stacy & Mike Labado start coming in to land on the cone, as Bob always liked to do, I caught this shot,,,and thought it fitting to share.

After the service, I headed to Henson's to help finish the wood installation on the radial part of the ramp, so that we will have something to launch off when the winds are right. I will post pictures, and a write up about it tomorrow. For tonight,,,,,I'm spent. Please say a prayer for Candy, and Bob's family & friends. There are some hurting people around here, right now
