Mongo was a special friend. He alsways had a great smile and as Jim noted, you knew a good time was going to be had when he was around.

I remember watching him cutway from shot and 1/2's just over the Perris manifest at about 300 feet and his round reserve opened at about 100 feet with his feet hitting ground just after line stretch. He bout a brand new re white and blue rig the following week.

He will definnetly be missed.

RIP Mongo

Jerry very sad to hear about Pat:

Pat was a great guy with teriffic talent and a credit to the sport of skydiving. Pat., you will greatly missed.

Smitty was a true Pioneer of the sport and an all around good person. I am honored to have been his friend.

well said Jim!

there is a lot of questions unanswered.

You are right Mike. The list is growing too fast and too long in such a short time.

I had a Comet 228

Great Canopy. Bought it from Jimmy Davis in a Handbury rig

I sold it to Jim kinopa and he sold it to older son Mike

Steve was an all around good guy.

thanks

PLF is a good thing to know. It has saved a number of us from the " Good Ole Days " of T-10's, Paracomanders, etc. Now with such fast canopies, it might be a good thing to teach again.

Your right Jim

That's the reason I posted it here.

I bought my first rig in 1979 a T-10 which included a military style rig for $100 Petersburg, Virgina DZ

Kevin was great person and contributed greatly to the sport and what it has become. He was ttruly one of a kind.

I am sorry to hear about your wife Peggy. My Mother died of the same cancer so I know a little of what you have been through. You are in our hearts and prayers dear friend.

Gary was one of the best friends, business partner, and human being any of us could ever know.

Blue Skies and Simper Fi Marine!

Your never to old and your never to old.The best is still ahead.

Doing good Jim
