Tex Hill-RIP

Thu Oct 11, 2007 8:32 pm

I just heard from a friend that Tex Hill passed away earlier today.

Not surprising but very sad never the less. He was a great hero to myself and a lot of young young kids growing up. Some lucky people meet their heros when they are older. I was fortunate to meet Tex when I was 14.
Rest in peace Tex and thank you :!:

That's very strange I tried posting about Tex last night and got
the debug mode response now I post 18 hours later???
I do have a couple shots I took and I'll try and dig them out. They're
of Tex, Ken Jernstedt, Dick Rossi and CAF Ace YT Low.

At the end of the day
Now that he has laid down his tools
never to toil again
We can celebrate a life well lived
and say, "Job well done!"
