I never have met a lot of you guy's face to face, but I think a lot of us that have been around here for awhile are pretty tight. ///////////////////I about dirtied myself too. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
I do hate the loss of anyone, but when you think it's one of your WIX buddies, well....just makes you get that crappy feeling for a minute. Sorry for the loss. :(

Sorry about the loss, but glad it isn't OUR Eric. He'll be in eventually to make fun of us.

Bless the family and friends of Flight Lt. Dowling.
