Back at the end of January, I posted about two of my dear friends who died in a plane crash at the Salem, OR airport.
They were flying a Beechcraft Bonanza V Tail.
So sad.
Yesterday, I read about a small plane crash with a fatality at the Pearson Airpark in Vancouver, WA.
Turns out it was my good friend Tom Posey.
Tom was flying a F'ing Beechcraft Bonanza V Tail.
Tom was CEO and President of Lamiglas Fishing Rods.
A family man with a wife and kids.
Tom and I met each other at UO a long time ago and bonded. Tom was a rebel, but smart as a whip.
I won't bother you with old college adventures..suffice to say that some parts were worthy of inclusion in a movie.
Tom, moved to Seattle years ago and lived in a neighborhood that was hard-core Husky. And if you knew Tom...he more than held his own at the neighborhood functions.
Always a Duck.
Thanks in advance for condolences, etc. But, mostly, I just wanted to send a little DSA Tribute to a hard-core Duck whom you would have loved.
Thanks,
Corey
