RIP Jim Mackonochie


Wags

Recommended Posts

My condolences for the family and friends.

 

An Airman Grace

 

Lord of thunderhead and sky

Who place in man the will to fly

Who taught his hand speed, skill and grace

To soar beyond man's dwelling place

You shared with him the Eagle's view

The right to soar, as Eagles do

The right to call the clouds his home

And grateful, through your heavens roam

May all assembled here tonight

And all who love the thrill of flight

Recall with twofold gratitude

Your gift of Wings, Your gift of Food.

 

RIP Jim.

Thank you for raising this sensitive issue. I've been thinking the same thing the whole time...

Yes, I really agree it's a sensitive issue. That's probably why no one has said anything. But I couldn't keep quiet any longer. There is nothing wrong with commemorating an anniversary of his death, but then you should acknowledge that that's what you are doing. Now, let Jim truly rest in peace.

I never met Jim, nor did I know him personally, but I knew what was in his heart. The man was like a father to me, as I’m sure he was to the rest of us in the community. In fact, I still have his picture sitting on my night stand. R.I.P Jim. You are sorely missed.
