R.I.P. , Doug and Family

I was just made aware of this tragedy today ; on 6th July 2014 @ 0815 HRS , a long-time client and hell of a nice guy parished in a plane crash (he was the pilot) :

Eerily , my friend (and coworker ; the Assistant Manager) and his father witnessed the crash on that fateful morning , as they were boating on the lake

(which I redundantly refer to as "Lake du Luc") . Apparently , my friend witnessed the "poof and plume" , completely unaware of the nature of the smoke ( ).

You will be missed , Doug ! Thank you for , not only your business , but for being a hell of a great guy , too !

"See you when I get there , if they'll let me in."

Having been there very recently myself, John, I understand exactly what you're going through, and it's painful beyond description.

Hoping you find some measure of peace with the situation and that you remember to hold on to the good memories of what sounds like a good man.
