Tragedy strikes

Hello everyone, I can't believe i'm saying this, but my uncle Bell AKA Evan, just passed away from injuries sustained in a horrible car accident. My Uncle Bell died at 6:27 P.M. EST at St. Vincent's Memorial Hospital.

If your wondering why I call him "Bell", it's because he was a former helicopter pilot for Bell. And he loves all types of Bell merchandise. The most vivid memory of Uncle Bell and me was when I was 7 when we went are are first fishing trip together. I caught 4 fish and he didn't get a single one. I just still can't believe he's gone.

As I type this, a tear rolls down my cheek, and thinking back to the times when he was still with us and all the good times we had together. I remember when he introduced to papercraft. My first model was a FG MiG-15. Then we worked together on a FG B-24. Those were the days....

Anyway, to anyone who would want to donate money for a funeral, your money would be respectfully declined. Are family has had money saved up for all are family member's funeral's since we were basically born. I don't really know why, but I guess it's something that runs in the family.

Everyone here at Paper Modelers has been so nice to me and my Uncle Bell. 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. I'm gonna do that tomorrow. And anyone who would like to contribute to my family, such as doing a re-paint of the MiG-15, please send them to my e-mail, astronautman20 AT gmail DOT com. Me and my family would really appreciate it. It'll help reduce the pain of his passing.

Until next time, good luck, have fun, and happy modelling.


Jarrod,
Spacemen1969

Terrible tragedy. Your model sounds like an appropriate memorial for a pilot from a model-building nephew.
