"I wish he had had an airframe parachute. He might still be with us. I
guess he opted for Rob's extra 10 gallons of gas that gave him soooo
many more options....

Since an airframe parachute option is not an OPTION on a Legacy, he had two
other options that may have allowed him to survive:

1. Wear a personal parachute
2. Install a feathering prop

I have both of those options with my Legacy. The prop is counterweighted and
so will feather with loss of oil pressure.
