  1. Thanks I was joking with Steve and Judy (as Tom would have) that that was probably the best exit Tom ever had) _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  2. As is their way, Skydive Carolina, Steve Vaughn, Judy Girrard and camera flyer Quincy Kennedy did an awesome job. Sprinkled in freefall then hooked up the canopies and did the rest under canopy http://riffeonline.com/ashdive I posted a tribute to him earlier this year http://riffeonline.com/tom Thanks again to everyone at Skydive Carolina _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss

  4. Not just jumping. Last year I was putting up christmas lights and over reached a little, you know, didnt want to move the ladder for that last little strand. Ladder and I went down. My wife made the comment "Nice PLF". I didn't even realize that that is how I landed. I moved the ladder next time _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss

  6. Just got a note from James at Chester: "I wanted to inform the jump community that an exclusive story will be released on Good Morning America (ABC) in the morning (Tuesday, February 3rd) from 7:31am thru 7:38am EST. Chip's tandem student, Daniel Pharr will be interviewed by Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts. " I'm setting the DVR _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  7. Man, I was there dropping off some gear on Saturday. If I recall, he was one of the instructors on my first AFF jumps. He will surely be missed. Personal note: My brother passed away on Jan 8th, now this. This year is really starting off bad _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  8. I stand corrected. I just got a call from james and we lined out a gameplan. I should have been more patient _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  9. The first email and Voicemail I left were for James. I'll try again. Thanks _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  10. Ok, I'm disapointed. Over the last couple of weeks I have sent email, left voicemail and yesterday left 2 messages at Chester regarding getting current and doing the ash dive with no response. I'm gonna try Raeford. While I jumped there a couple of times, Tom didn't jump there but perhaps I can accomplish his last wish there. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  11. Didn't die skydiving. Died in his office. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  12. Would it be bad luck to jump his gear. Size isnt a problem. I weigh right at 200 and his chute is somewhere around a 290. I guess it would be floaty _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  13. 'Nothing that is loved is ever lost ... No one who has touched a life, who has brought beauty to the world, is ever truly gone." That's so nice, .....Thank you _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  14. Thank you, I've been out of the fold fo so long, but you are so supportave. man, that's so cool. Thanks _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  15. Thank you for your thoughts. Dont think I could get them in the Air (he never could) . It will be ok, I will do it for Tom. They will be there for support. I'm thinking one of the last loads of the day. Let him ride off into the sunset _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  16. It'a the only thing I could think to do. In a letter to his children (grown), in regards to the disposition of his ashes he said "Paul Will know what to do" .... so I guess I need to get back in the air so I can do what he wanted. .................It's been a while. Let's say I'm aprehensive about jumping again. But it's what he wanted so I gotta do it. _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  17. In case anyone remembers us.......The Riffe brothers Tom and I jumped at Chester for a while. We weren't hard core, but it was a blast. The best times of his life. Tom, my brother, passed away last Thursday. Way too soon. I know he would wish everyone blue skies. I sat down the other night to write some stuff, as I guess therapy, I havent finished the page with pictures yet but here's a link http://riffeonline.com/tom He was my rock, my therapist, my best friend. Man, Im gonna miss him. The last thing he said to me in an email was "Blue Skies" _________________________________________________ Let me live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend to man- Sam Walter Foss
  18. oooooh, I never thought of pouring over. I just served the creme as dessert. It would be like a sweet steak au poivre.
