The viewing will be this Wed. 04/20/05 from 6pm till 8pm The family has asked for a skydiver funeral. There will be a jump into a SMALL DZ (less than 1 acre) surrounded on 2 sides with power lines and other side woods.This will be a tight jump and if you are interested in jumping call Norm Johnson at 770-684-7298 home or 386-503-8492. The family has asked that Preston's skydiving friends that wish to attend this grave side service that are not jumping please wear your skydiving cloths (jumpsuits) no suits and ties! The service will be at Flint Hills Baptist Church on Thursday 04/21/05 at 1:15 pm. Following the jump and burial all of Preston's skydiver friends are invited to a BYOB hamburger cookout to celebrate Preston's life at Norm Johnson's home. Flint Hills Church is located outside Taylorsville GA. Call Norm Johnson for directions. Preston was a man’s man and would not want flowers so if you want to help, cash would be great ,contact Norm. Preston was a tandem master , s/l instructor ,pro demo jumper, video jumper, and all-around great guy. He has done a lot for the sport of skydiving and we all loved him so much, so now is the time for us to return something for all he has done for us. Hope to see you at the funeral jump in your jumpsuits on Thursday .. 59 YEARS,OVERWEIGHT,BALDIND,X-GRUNT LAST MIL. JUMP VIET-NAM(QUAN-TRI) www.dzmemories.com
