On day one in TACAMO..
First command, new to everything, I checked into VQ-4. Francis snatched me up, showed me around, helped me check in and gave me the keys to his car to take care of some business on base because I didn’t have one. He was my first shipmate in the “fleet”. A number of years and Jimmy Buffet concerts followed, but I’ll never forget his kindness on that day. RIP Brother.

Now it's getting a little too close. I flew with him on multiple deployments, and we remained friends in the civilian world. I enjoyed seeing his many FB posts.
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
RIP Shipmate 😓
Dang, one of the first cats I ever worked with when I got to OKC in 98. Fair winds and following seas brother and thanks for all the knowledge you passed down to me.
