Ohhhhh My condolances.

Gunny was always much revered and respected around this community.

We should aim to commemorate his life and membership at YSFHQ soon. :)

Semper Fi, Gunny!
I am an accountant working full-time (and some). I'm not here as often as I would like to be. Send a message if you need me. There are a few people in the community who can get in contact with me urgently if you need - don't be afraid to ask. I just don't check here as frequently as I used to. Sorry!

So sad to learn of Gunny passing!

Mad many good conversations with him back in the days of teamspeak, he was such a good person!

Even as little ago as March this year we shared a private message.
He will leave a huge hole in this community that's for sure!

The official video of the "Marine's Rally" mass flight at RIAT 2021 is now available. I'd like to consider it something of a memorial for Gunny, or at least, the closest us on HQ will get to doing one all together.

Well, folks... Today marks a full year since Gunny passed. I don't have anything prepared for this occasion, but the least we could do is observe the day.

We'll do another remembrance/honor flight for Gunny for this week's FNF/SMF. Map is Tennessee, plenty of GA fields around for the GA aircraft we'll fly.
