your card for the jumper killed at the wffc (his family )

Recommended Posts

Like most other people here, I never met Pops... but reading all these threads about him and seeing the emotion people pour out in their posts makes me a little bit teary eyed, almost in a good way, because it gives me an even greater respect for the beauty of this sport and its participants. He sounds like a great man.

Words aren't enough at a time like this. As hard as I try, nothing I can think of expresses the loss of this man. He was truly one of a kind, and an inspiration to many people, and not just skydivers. Pops and David were in my water training class for our B license requirement. It was a really small class, and we had such a great time. There wasn't a time at the DZ that I saw Pops and he didn't give me a big bear hug. I will always remember him as smiling, giving, caring, and a truly joyful human being. The world has lost a wonderful person. He was a rare individual and I will never forget him, and I will never stop missing his smile. We love you, Pops. Blue Skies Forever.

I was lucky enough to have meet Pop's and jump with him as often as I could at the WFFC. He will be missed by all his family and friends. Blue skies Pops.

Since signing this card, I have wanted to say something more than just, good-bye, BS, later, etc.

Having served with the 2nd Armored Division, I became immersed in its history and felt the following quote more appropriate:

"It is wrong to mourn the soldiers who die during war. Rather, we should thank God that such men lived."

--General George S. Patton
