ROC’s long time member, former board member and former club president passed away this past Tuesday early in the morning. He was diagnosed recently with Pancreatic cancer. He was a mentor to countless rocketeers, young and old. He was a NAR L3CC and certified many many folks at all levels. He was a genuine person who loved to visit folks at our events. He offered assistance and advice to anyone who asked. Many of us remember the pool parties at his home after June Rocstocks. He particularly loved crayon rockets. Didn’t matter if they were low, mid or high power. He loved them all.

ROC plans to celebrate his life at the next Rocstock in November. Details forthcoming. He will be missed by all. Our hobby has lost a great man.
