Subject: [OhioValleyRVators] Dan's Visitation
Forwarding to the RV-10 list
Hi Gang,
Just wanted to report back to you on the 'Visitation and Service'
for Dan last night.
Whenever we travel we always 'check in' on the radio once airborne
giving position reports and eta. This time we were all checking in
via cell phone and mile marker as we in our cars....hmmmm. All 'cept
Mike Stewart that is since he flew up from Georgia. Of course he did
put his cell into action once picked up at Youngstown airport by
Glen and Mike. Most of us met at a litte Italian restaurant
called 'Cickerinos' (somethink like that)in Hermitage, Pa. Dick Sipp
(RV10) got in town 1st (drove down from Michigan) so he picked it
out on a drive by.....it worked out real well. Was a little
different seeing all the guys with their ties and sport coats on
instead of company colors, a tee shirt, or a hoodie. After a quick
meal we headed over to the Funeral Home. Nice turnout. Got to
(finally) meet Dan's best (Navy) friend Bobby. Bobby had just flown
with Dan in the RV10 from the Daytona, Fl. area (Jan Eggenfellner's)
to his home in Boston about a week ago. He said everywhere they
stopped that Dan kept saying how cool it was that they were flying
up the coast in the RV10 that he had built in his garage!! Imagine
that!!
The Funeral Home had a nice slideshow with music that was playing
quietly in the background . Lots of pictures of Dan in various
stages of his life, including many shots of him and his RV10 that we
had forwarded the other day (thanks to all for the pics).
We filled up 2 rows on the far side of the parlor. Those in
attendance were:
- Rick Gray
- Mike Stewart
- John Furey
- Bill Flaherty
- Gary Jasper
- Glen Miller
- Mike Allardyce
- Ty Pegues
- Dick Sipp
- Rob Logan
The permenant arrangement we sent looked real nice. I'll also
mention that as I walked around looking at all the flowers I noticed
an arrangement that had a card that read 'from Doug and Susie Reeves
(at) Vansairforce.net'. Thanks Doug....very well received.
Seeing the look on Dan's (9 year old) son Cameron's face last night
was a sobering reminder of the gift of giving. Thanks again to all
of you that have donated (or will in the future) to the Dan Lloyd
Scholarship Fund for his children Becca and Cameron.
I'll wait a couple weeks then will give the money to Trish for the
fund. Again, if you wish to donate you can mail a check to:
Rick Gray
200 Baker Trail
Vincent, Ohio 45784
Of course, I'll provide Trish a list of names for the contributions.
We have 10 signatures on the Ohio Valley RVators hat so far. I'll
have it with me at the Birthday Party UFO this Saturday. I'll give
the hat to Trish along with the donations. Sure hope some of you
will join me.
I spoke with Trish a few times last night. Under the circumstances
she seemed to be holding up well. She (again) wanted me to thank the
entire group for all the prayers. Dan loved his RV10 and all
his 'RV' friends. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and friendship will
surely be missed.
See ya' soon Danno'!
Rick at the Buffalo Farm - BTW - Mike 'Kahuna' Stewart checked in
from his RV 'Super 8' night flight back to Lawrenceville, Ga around
11:30pm. He almost beat me home!! Dick 'Froggy' Sipp moteled it and
is driving 5+hrs back to Michigan this morning.
