Damn............ Man I'm sorry to hear this.

They said 2012 was not going to be a good year, but I never believed it............ until now.

Glad to see you are carrying on with the builds.......... and his ID.

I wish I could say that it will get better with time, but alas it truly doesn't. Great memories help ease the pain some, so keep them fresh on your mind.

I plan on taking over his account, so don't worry about Spacemen1969 disappearing for good. I know this is what he would have wanted.

To commemorate him and what he's done for everyone here and in my family, I'm going to do a custom re-paint of his favorite jet, the MiG-15.
Oh my, Jarrod. So sorry.
Cool about him being pilot.
Yes, ensuring his account lives, and the project with his favorite plane sound like fantastic ways to honor him.

Thanks. That is my uncle's favorite camo colors. And mine. Before I go, I'd like to ask if anybody is willing to do a re-scale of a howitzer for me. I have no idea how to and I'd prefer if someone did it for me. If anybody's willing, PM me and I'll send you the model tomorrow or any other day. It'll help me take my mind off my uncle's passing.


Jarrod,

Thanks, I'll send it to you tomorrow. Just for a heads up, I have a JPEG and PDF file of the howitzer. Which one's easier?

Sorry to learn of your loss, Jerrod. I can't imagine how it feels to have such a fine person in your life and have him taken so suddenly, but I will pray for you and for his spirit.
