Oh my GOD! Thats my great uncle and great aunt! Im in shock, guys, I am freaking serious! Thats my great Uncle Paul (we called him Ginger)! You guys dont have to effing believe me but its true! He is a professioal dentist and a professional track runner for the US senior league! I just saw him not to long ago, I am in complete shock, my family from Texas (theyre from Killeen) just called us and told us, Im blown away its on national headlines, I cant believe this, Im like shaking so bad, this is so surreal.
If you dont believe me email me at la2915dylan@yahoo.com and Ill send you a picture of him and me 2 years ago at the Eugene Oregon, senior track meet.
My god guys, this is just to surreal.

Thanks guys, we heard he was vacationing with two other locals from his church, and with my great aunt (his wife), they were on theyre way back home. Crap, I cant believe this, I was supposed to see Uncle Paul this June.
Can anyone in anyway get the reg number from the Piper Seneca II that he was flying in?
Thanks

Thanks for the support guys, its weird, it seems like a dream, like this is not happening, but it is. I really dont know what to do to prove that Im not lying, this is just overwhelming, I just dont know what to do, we were so close, and I just saw him two years ago, and now hes gone and on the national headlines.
Thanks

Son, you don't have to PROVE anything to anyone so don't let that even be a consideration for you. Like I said young man, email me if you need to talk and just try and remember all the wonderful things about your loved ones. I am sure they were wonderful people.
Oh how I miss Midway Airlines. A class act right to then end.

Just got an update on the Houston news, according to Channel 11 KHOU there were 4 on board, 2 couples flying home from vacation in MO back to Lubbock TX- pilot reported trouble with airplane and crashed attempting to make it back to the airport.
My prayers and condolences go out to the friends and families involved.
Having lost friends in ag-aviation, it's never easy, but nobody forces you to fly and we all accept the risks involved to feel the thrill of doing something we love.

Oh my god, my uncle from Harker Heights, TX just called up and said they got a call from the son of Paul and Marcia, and said he wasnt even aware of his parents horrible death until CNN called his house and said this EXACTLY no lie "How does it feel to lose both your parents" he was confused and thought they had the wrong number. Shows how incredibly rude, and careless the media/news is.

That is absolutely horrible.
I lost all respect for the mainstream media years ago. Look at how Larry King looked when JetBlue Flight 292 made the safe landing at LAX. He seemed so dissapointed. I wonder what that would have done for ratings had it turned out badly?

Try to keep your chin up, PDX.
I think the best way to honor a lost loved one is to get the family together, celebrate the good times you shared with him, have a few laughs in his memory, and enjoy each other's company.
If he was anything like my relatives, that's what he would have wanted.

That's horrible! I hope they feel horrible to have done that to someone! And, I hope he sues them, and wins. That's truely horrible!

Sorry to hear about your loss KPDX. It is always gut wrenching when you lose someone close, and you see it across the news. Hang in there bud! You know he is in a great place and being well cared for.
I will not comment regarding what comments were made about the validity of this, but I think the others have spoken well enough.
