Raefordite 0 #3 February 25, 2003 Although I didn't know John Adams, I know a number of Canadians as they have traveled to Raeford to jump. So sorry - God's speed, Kate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 24 #4 February 25, 2003 People from the Western states would have had more of an opportunity to meet him (I probably have met him when I lived in Alberta, but only in passing). The Jackets have been the Canadian CReW champs for the last N years, and got bronze on 1 of the event at the last worlds. They are mostly Alberta based and very often go to AZ for training.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marz 0 #5 February 25, 2003 Damn.... This is sad. Gavin was always a great guy to have around. I spent many a night 'round the campfire with him, and always admired his dedication to the sport and representing Canada at the world level. My deepest condolances to his family. We'll miss ya Buddy! Blue Skies forever! _________________________________________ Did I just kill another thread? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDBoston 0 #6 February 25, 2003 Very sorry to hear that. My condolences to his friends and family. Seems like snowmobiling is one of those deceptively dangerous activities. I'd guess an average of 1-2 people a week die up here in New England during the winter months. Subject for another thread maybe. Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gemini 0 #7 February 25, 2003 Both times I have been to Eloy the Plaid Jackets were there. Although I didn't know John personally, all the PJ's were friendly and fun to be with on the plane. We were always kidding them about all the canopy material sticking out from under the container flaps. Blue skies forever John. My condolences to his family and friends. Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

a78jumper 0 #10 February 23, 2011 Funny Gavin, I was thinking of you today, did a google search and found out it was eight years exactly since you passed. Remember those discussions over beer at The Cumberland Arms, you usually won the arguement....blue skies, fair winds and soft landings friend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
