I just saw this post on rec.aviation.homebuilt. Vance was an occasional 
poster to the 'other' rotary list & a very bright aero 
designer/engineer. I had the pleasure of a long conversation with him 
over lunch at OSH several years ago.

If you've never read any of his stuff, google his name & see how 
prolific he was & how much we've lost.

Please accept my apologys if this is not the correct address to write
to, or if you receive this news multiple times. My brother Doug and I
are trying to contact as many of the people that knew our parents as
possible. We know that the many contacts our father made in the
aircraft
world would want to know.

On Sunday Evening at about 10:00pm my mother Emily Jaqua, lost her
battle with lung cancer. In the same hospital this morning at around
3:00am my father Vance Jaqua lost his battle with Leukemia. They had
both been very ill since last fall. However they were still active
enough to attend my nephews graduation party the Saturday of Fathers
Day
weekend. Both passed as easily as possible under the circumstances.
Their last stay in the hospital was very short. This is both the best
and worst that could have happened. They were spared a long drawn
suffering, but it has turn my Brother's and my world upside down.

There will be no funeral service. However, in the near future there
will
be a celebration of their lives.

===========================================================

For those of you who didn't know Vance, he was a real asset to the
homebuilding community as an aero-engineer and designer. He was
instrumental in several designs including the KIS TR-2 and TR-4. He
conducted numerous forums at Oshkosh, Copperstate, Sun-N-Fun and other
local fly-ins. His help aided many in realizing their dreams of
building and flying their homebuilt aircraft. He will be missed by
many of us.
