It was a an emotionally charged week for us in Florida. I promised a new post reporting on the Air Expo, and the 2009 Remos, and you will get it, but not in this post. Cheryl and I got to the Air Expo, saw the '09 model, and met with the Remos CEO, and numerous future Remos owners. We came away exhausted but enthused.
Enthusiasm however soon gave way to shock and disbelief. If you haven't heard already, tragedy struck the Remos family early Sunday morning, a friend, the Eastern Regional sales manager for Remos, was involved in an accident in his GX. http://www2.highlandstoday.com/content/2009/jan/28/la-ntsb-investigation-continues-into-sunday-plane-/ Thankfully, Mike survived the crash, but suffered extensive injuries, and will be recovering for quite some time. Unfortunately, the passenger's injuries were fatal. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mike, his family, and the family of Steven Fletcher, the fatally injured passenger.
The cause of the accident is still officially under investigation, and I'll post no speculation here. What I will offer, is my heart felt thanks to all of my friends and customers that called or emailed with their concern. Without exception, each call expressed relief to find out neither Dave or I were involved, then sorrow and sympathy for the victims and their families. It strikes me that we really are becoming a Remos family, just as we envisioned it two years ago when we began this great adventure. This family, like all families laugh, cry, and grow together. The good times are easier than the bad, but the bad times are easier with care and concern from family.
Thank you for your care and concern, and please continue to pray for Mike, his family, and the family of Steven Fletcher.
