Dear Betty,
Our thoughts are with you. I couldn’t help but think that Rex will probably never enter the pearly gates. I am sure he will negotiate the freight contract with St Peter for transport between this mortal coil and the gates. His mode of transport will be, of course, a DC3 crewed by all the ex Spanz brigade.
Ralph will be particularly happy because of his meteoric rise in seniority and will see himself with a command in the short term.
Please give Rex our best wishes.
Regards
Mark
Dad and Ralph were pilots together at Spanz and there has been some wagering on who will win the ultimate race to the pearly gates.
Sadly, It is with heavy heart that Mark reports the passing of Ralph at 3:10am the morning of the 6th October. He slipped away peacefully after what can only be described as a stoic battle against the odds. The family are coping well in their usual irreverent manner.
