It is with very mixed emotions to tell everyone that today is my last day with Van's Aircraft. As you may or may not know, I've been battling advanced stage cancer since January. So it is that decision that prompts me to make a hastily planned retirement move at this time. It's not really the way I was looking to retire, but nonetheless it is what it is and certainly a fait accompli... We?ll make the best of it anyway?
I just want everyone to know that I've really enjoyed my time here and consider you all my friends. I will miss the day to day banter, the camaraderie, and also working to make the best dam kit airplane in the history of aviation! I will truly miss working here since it has been one of my goals since getting into aviation years ago. Despite having to leave, I deeply appreciate the opportunities provided to me during my time here and I am very grateful for everyone's assistance along the way.
My future is undetermined at this point, but my wife and I plan to try to get me healthy, continuing the cancer fight to the best of my ability, however daunting as that may be. When I beat it, I?ll be back?
Take care and stay healthy...
