A week has passed since we lost a good friend. It was
especially a shock to all of us here who have worked with Grant for the last 4
years. The funeral last Saturday filled the church with his friends and
family.
Obviously we all want to know and understand what
happened. We can all speculate and wonder what really happened on that
fatal flight last Tuesday. I don't intend to go into the details of what
took place but I would like to pass on some comments in remembering my
friend.
I have flown with Grant on countless occasions. I have
always known him to be skilled and very careful. He always made the
conservative and safe decision. One of his functions at Lancair was flight
instruction. I hope he will be remembered for his professionalism and what
he did for all of us. I invite all of you to be part of his induction to
the EAA Wall of Fame at Oshkosh next year.
Grant is survived by his wife Cari and his 1 ½ year old son
Marshall. A trust fund is being set up for Marshall for college.
Please contact me at carstens@lancair.com to get more
information about the college fund.
